Burg Hohenfels (Hohenfels) stands in Hohenfels (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Hohenfels Castle stands on a wooded spur in the Landkreis Konstanz, in Hohenfels, Baden-Württemberg. Despite its name, the structure seen today is largely a small baroque schloss, reshaped in the 18th century under architect Johann Caspar Bagnato for the Teutonic Order. Visitors find an almost rectangular courtyard framed by four wings, round corner towers, a rococo chapel dated 1761, and Renaissance arcades on the ground floor of the east wing. Long used as a boarding school, the castle now houses a conference centre and has been open to visitors again since its sale in 2018.
