Burgstall Schallenkam stands in Münsing (Landkreis Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Schallenkam marks the site of a former hilltop castle, long since vanished, standing on a spur at 670 metres above sea level east of the isolated farmstead of Schallenkam, within the municipality of Münsing. All that remains of the medieval stronghold are earthworks: two ditches and the rampart between them, still traceable on the western side. The spur itself provided natural protection, falling away toward two streams to the north and southwest. This is a place for those interested in landscape archaeology rather than a standing building.

The site sits on an isolated spur near the Schallenkam farmstead, off the usual tourist routes.
