Burg Trendelburg, Medieval castle in Trendelburg, Germany.

The castle was established in 1303 by Conrad III of Schöneberg along a trade route before being exchanged with the Bishopric of Paderborn.

The central tower of the castle holds connections to folktales and serves as a reference point along the German Fairy Tale Route.
