The Castle High Scheid is an Outbound castle in the woods southwest of Hochdorf an der Enz, a modern district of the municipality Eberdingen in the district of Ludwigsburg in Baden-Württemberg . The castle complex was 60 m long and 23 wide.

Around 1271 the Lords of Hohenscheid are named with the castle. A branch of the Fleiner von Altenburg named itself after the castle in the 13th and 14th centuries. The castle and the associated estate were Vaihingian , then Württemberg fiefs . After the von Hohenscheid died out, Count Eberhard von Württemberg lent the castle and the village of Hochdorf to the von Münchingen in 1390. After the castle was demolished after 1390, only small remains remained.
