The ruin of Madenburg Castle is one of the biggest and oldest castle complexes in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The castle was built on a cliff on the outskirts of the Palatinate Forest towards the Rhine rift. The ruin that is surrounded by forest lies on 458m overlooking Eschbach.

Despite their power of resistance, the castle was destroyed during the War of the Grand Alliance by the troups of Joseph de Montclar. The castle was never rebuilt.
