Rosenberg Castle is a ruined castle located near the villages of Burghalden and Schachen to the north of the municipality of Herisau in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden in Switzerland.
In 1176 the noble family of Rorschach first appeared in the record as knights in service to the Abbot of St. Gall. Over the following centuries this family owned a number of castles and produced many separate lines, all of which used a rose bush somewhere in their coat of arms. Around 1200 they built two castles near Herisau, one called Rosenberg, the other Rosenburg and about 2.3 km apart. Rosenburg Castle was located near the Ramsenstock, a small mountain with a peak 926 m above sea level, and is therefore also known as Ramsenberg.
