Waldenburg (Neuenbürg) stands in Neuenbürg (Enzkreis), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Waldenburg is a ruined hilltop castle overlooking the Enz river, at the entrance to the town of Neuenbürg. Much of its history remains unknown, since no written records survive to date its construction or name those who built it. The remaining ruins suggest a fortified enclosure, a great hall, a chapel and several service buildings. Excavations have uncovered pottery linking the site to the Upper Rhine and the Swabian Jura, along with a bronze dragon-shaped lamp now held at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart.
