Burgstelle Wallenburg stands in Dürbheim (Landkreis Tuttlingen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstelle Wallenburg marks the site of a former spur castle, built around 1200 on a ridge overlooking the Ursental valley, at an elevation of 840 metres, southeast of Dürbheim. Of the once two-part fortification, only scant remains of walls and ditches survive today. The site belonged to the noble family of Wallenburg, whose town house still stands in Mühlheim an der Donau. It suits visitors drawn to faint traces of the past rather than restored monuments.
