The Burg Grimmstein is a ruined hilltop stronghold standing at 345 metres above sea level, south of the village of Reinhardtsgrimma, part of the town of Glashütte in Saxony. Only the remains of foundation walls survive, partly uncovered during archaeological excavations in the 1960s. Local legend links the site to the knights of Grimme, and its destruction is thought to be connected to the fall of the Dohna burgraviate in 1402. An information panel was placed there in 2006 to mark Reinhardtsgrimma's 800th anniversary.
