Burg Lichtenberg stands in Oberstenfeld (Landkreis Ludwigsburg), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Lichtenberg rises on a spur of the Löwenstein hills above the Bottwar valley, near Oberstenfeld. Built in the Hohenstaufen era, it ranks among the best-preserved castles of that period north of the Alps, with its keep, bossed stone curtain wall, and a chapel decorated with 13th-century murals. Now privately owned, it hosts weddings and private events, though the building itself still stands out over the wooded valley.
