The Heilsberg ruin, also called Heilsperg, is the ruin of a hilltop castle at 545 m above sea level on the Heilsberg above the municipality of Gottmadingen in the Konstanz district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was built in the second half of the 13th century and mentioned in 1303. In 1310, the Lords of Randegg were named as owners, and after its destruction in 1499, the Lords of Schellenberg were mentioned in 1518 in connection with a reconstruction. After its destruction in 1525 during the German Peasants' War, the castle was finally destroyed in 1635 during the Thirty Years' War by Konrad Widerholt and fell into disrepair. Of the former castle complex, which featured a 7 by 12 meter residential building, dilapidated wall sections are still preserved.
