Burg Wiesenburg stands in Wildenfels (Landkreis Zwickau), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Wiesenburg Castle stands above the Mulde valley on the edge of Wiesenburg, now part of Wildenfels in Saxony. The present building combines remains of a medieval stronghold, including a section of the round keep, parts of the surrounding wall and a moat, with a 17th-century rebuilding that produced the half-timbered inner courtyard and the octagonal gate tower. Once the seat of a lordship covering some twenty villages, it passed through several owners before being bought by the municipality of Wildenfels from private hands in 2024. The castle is not open to visitors.
