Razvaline gradu Ekenštajn si lahko ogledate vrh položnega grebena JV od Velenja v naselju Gorica, v neposredni bližini Šaleškega gradu.
Grad se je prvič omenjal že leta 1282, in sicer v posesti Koroške škofije Krka vse do 15. st. Do 17. st., ko so ga opustili in je začel propadati, je grad zamenjal več lastnikov. Danes se je od gradu Ekenštajn ohranila le razvalina z nekaj fragmentarno ohranjenimi zidovi, ki pričajo o njegovi srednjeveški zasnovi.
