Ortenstein Castle is a castle in the municipality of Domleschg of the Canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
The castle was built around 1250 on the bishop's land near Tumegl/Tomils. It was built either by the Bishop of Chur or by his representative, the Lords of Vaz. The ecclesiastical farms in Tomils were given as a fief to the Vaz family in 1275. The castle is first mentioned in 1309 as Ortenstain. In 1338 the castle fief was inherited by Ursula von Werdenberg after the extinction of the male heirs of Vaz. By the 14th century the ministerialis family of Ortenstein held the castle for the Werdenberg-Sargans family. In the 15th century a number of nobles lived in Ortenstein. The castle was destroyed in 1451 during a war between the residents of the Schams valley and the Counts of Werdenberg-Sargans.
