Ruine Praßberg stands in Wangen im Allgäu (Landkreis Ravensburg), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Ruine Praßberg stands on a hilltop above the Argental valley, over 600 metres high, near the hamlet of Beutelsau in Wangen im Allgäu. Built in the 12th century under the abbey of St. Gallen, it later passed through the hands of the lords of Praßberg and several noble families before falling into decline during the 19th century. Visitors can still see the remains of the keep with its thick walls, along with traces of the St. George's chapel and the former residential building. Inhabited until 1835, the castle has been a ruin since the mid-19th century, with conservation work ongoing since 1937.
