Ruine Ramstein (Schramberg) stands in Tennenbronn (Landkreis Rottweil), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Ruine Ramstein is the remains of a hilltop castle on a wooded ridge roughly 688 metres high, in the valley of the upper Schiltach between Schramberg and Tennenbronn. Built before 1137, it served as the seat of the lords of Ramstein until repeated destructions, the last in 1452 when the Swabian town league besieged and burned it down. Only scattered wall fragments remain today, on a small site of about 400 square metres that once held a gate tower, a round corner tower, a courtyard and a hall.
