The Castillo de Puñoenrostro is a privately owned fortification in the Spanish municipality of Seseña.

The Castillo de Puñoenrostro is a fortification located in the municipality of Seseña, in the province of Toledo, at an altitude of about 655 meters above sea level. It is a privately owned building that is currently in a state of consolidated ruin.

The fortification was generically protected on April 22, 1949, by a decree published on May 5 of that same year in the Official State Gazette. The decree, signed by Francisco Franco and the Minister of National Education José Ibáñez Martín, stated that all castles in Spain, regardless of their state of ruin, were under the protection of the State.

In 2010, the procedure began to determine the protection perimeter of the castle, which at that time held the status of a cultural interest asset.
