Bosenstein Castle, also known as Hagenbrucker Castle, is the ruin of a spur castle on the Schlossbuckel behind the Schlosshof near the municipality of Ottenhöfen in the Black Forest in the Ortenau district in Baden-Württemberg. It is located at an elevation of approximately 408 meters above sea level.
The hilltop castle was built in the 11th century by the Counts of Eberstein, mentioned in 1291 as castrum Botzenstein, expanded in 1617, destroyed during the Thirty Years' War, and demolished in 1840. The owners of the castle were the Lords of Bosenstein. Of the former castle complex, which comprised a core castle with an outer bailey, the accessible neck ditch and remnants of walls are still preserved.
