Rottenegg^{[needs IPA]} is a village in the municipality of Sankt Gotthard im Mühlkreis, in Upper Austria. It is named after the now-ruined Rottenegg Castle, just east of the village.

Rottenegg is surrounded by hilly country and is a good area for hiking, with excellent views. It once lay on a Via Regia, a medieval trade route.^[1] The ruined castle is on a projecting rock promontory where the Kleinen Rodl enters the Großen Rodl river from the north, looking over the confluence. It guarded the old trade route.^[2] The village puts on the Rottenegg Cultural Summer Program each year, which includes cabarets, concerts and plays.^[1] The village is home to the Mühlviertler Heimatverein Rottenegg, a club that preserves folk dances and songs, and that puts on a play each year.^[3] The hall at the leisure center is also used for other events.^[4]
