Burg Taubenberg stands in Sontra (Werra-Meißner-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Taubenberg refers to the remains of an early medieval hilltop stronghold southwest of Breitau, now part of Sontra in Hesse. Rediscovered only at the end of the 20th century, the site preserves little more than a flattened system of ramparts and ditches. No masonry has ever been found there, suggesting a refuge fortification that was either abandoned unfinished or never fully built. Visitors come mainly for the wooded hill itself rather than for any standing structure.
