Burg Innhausen, Medieval castle ruins in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.

The castle site covers an area of 140 by 120 meters, marked by elevated ground where the original structure once stood.

Built around 1350 by Ino Tjarksena, judge of Östringen in East Frisia, the castle remained a power center until its demolition in 1531.

The castle served as the ancestral seat of the East Frisian chieftain dynasty of Innhausen and Knyphausen, influencing regional politics.

The location now contains no visible structures, with stones from the original building used for construction in Tidofel.

A mill stood on the castle mound until 1626, after which the land was leveled around 1850 and the name transferred to a nearby farmstead.
