Isenburg (Sachsen) stands in Aue-Bad Schlema (Erzgebirgskreis), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Isenburg survives only as ruins on a rocky spur above the Zwickauer Mulde valley, between Hartenstein and Wildbach. Archaeological finds place a fortification here as early as the 12th century, though it was destroyed in the 14th century and never rebuilt. Visitors can still make out the foundations of the ring wall and the remains of a round keep, restored in 1993. The site is reached on foot, following a forest path from Hartenstein railway station.
