Burgruine Enzberg stands in Mühlacker (Enzkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgruine Enzberg lies within the village of Enzberg, part of Mühlacker, on the remains of a stronghold founded in the 11th century by the Zeisolf-Wolfram family. Visitors can still see wall sections up to two metres high, the foundations of several buildings, a double defensive wall with an inner ditch, a rounded archway and the filled-in entrance to a vaulted cellar. An old rainwater cistern, housed in a small structure, still functions as a water reservoir thanks to a pump still in use today.
