Burg Bakum stands in Bakum (Landkreis Vechta), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Bakum refers to a late medieval fortified estate, now vanished, that once stood on the eastern edge of the village of Bakum in the Landkreis Vechta, Lower Saxony. The site began as a farmstead of the Cruder family, vassals of Burg Vechta, and later passed through inheritance and marriage between several noble families. Nothing remains to be seen today, as the last building on the site was demolished in 1977.
