Burg Marquartstein stands in Marquartstein (Landkreis Traunstein), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 11th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Marquartstein rises above the valley of the Tiroler Achen, in the Chiemgau region, on a rocky outcrop at 575 metres. Founded in 1075 by Count Marquart of Marquartstein, it changed hands through marriage and inheritance among several noble families before passing to the Wittelsbachs in 1259. In private ownership since 1987, the castle cannot be visited, though its outline can still be seen from the village, and the adjoining chapel, tied to the memory of composer Richard Strauss, remains part of the setting.
