Höhlenburg Luegstein stands in Oberaudorf (Landkreis Rosenheim), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Luegsteinhöhle is an unusual medieval cave fortress carved into a rock face above the Luegsteinsee lake, near Oberaudorf. Pottery finds point to occupation between the 11th and 13th centuries, likely by knights connected to the Counts of Falkenstein. The entrance, set four metres above ground, could only be reached by ladder, and remains of a gate arch and traces of a two storey interior arrangement are still visible. The site now forms part of the Audorfer Höhlenweg hiking trail.
