Schloss Oberherrlingen stands in Blaustein (Alb-Donau-Kreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Schloss Oberherrlingen stands on a small rocky spur above the Kleine Lautertal valley, in the Herrlingen district of Blaustein. Originally built as a fortified castle in the 11th or 12th century under the name Burg Horningen, it was destroyed several times before being rebuilt in 1588 by Dietrich von Bernhausen as a three-storey Renaissance schloss with two pointed gables. The von Bernhausen family made it their main seat, and in 1839 Eugen von Maucler acquired the property, where he established a significant library. The site today houses a farming operation and can only be viewed from outside.
