The Wallburg Hohenseelenbachskopf was an Iron Age hillfort in Neunkirchen (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).
It is assumed that the hillfort was built by the Celts between 500 and 300 BC. It was situated on a basalt plateau at the top of Hohenseelenbachskopf hill.
The site was reused in medieval times for the construction of Seelbach Castle.
Between 1900 and 1925, the basalt plateau was removed. The remains of the hillfort and the castle have been destroyed.
