Das Schloss Angenstein ist eine mittelalterliche Höhenburg in der Gemeinde Duggingen (BL) und liegt markant über der Engstelle der Birs zwischen Aesch und Duggingen. 

Der Name „Angenstein“ bedeutet sinngemäß „Stein im Engnis“ und beschreibt treffend die Lage am Durchgang vom Laufental ins Birseck. Die genaue Entstehungszeit ist unklar – als Gründer werden die Grafen von Pfirt oder die Basler Ritterfamilie Münch vermutet. 1271 gelangte das Gelände vermutlich in den Besitz des Bischofs von Basel, 1320 wird die Burg erstmals schriftlich erwähnt.

Die Anlage besteht aus einem imposanten mittelalterlichen Donjon, umgeben von späteren Anbauten. Ursprünglich stieg der Zugang steil von der Birs zur Burg empor, heute erfolgt der Weg über einen Sattel im Nordosten. Seit dem Bau der Jurabahn 1870 führt ein Tunnel direkt unter dem Burgfelsen hindurch. Neben dem Schloss befinden sich ein Zollhaus und ein Wirtshaus am gegenüberliegenden Ufer.

Die Burg erlitt im Laufe ihrer Geschichte Brände, Erdbebenschäden (1356) und Besetzungen – zuletzt 1637 durch schwedische Truppen im Dreißigjährigen Krieg. Seit 1951 ist sie im Besitz des Kantons Basel-Stadt.

Ein kurioses Detail: Ein Bunker aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde unauffällig an die Terrasse gebaut.
