Burg Braunsdorf stands in Auma-Weidatal (Landkreis Greiz), in Thuringia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Braunsdorf was a moated castle, now vanished, whose remains lie on an island in the former manor pond at Auma-Weidatal, in the Landkreis Greiz, Thuringia. Likely built in the 16th century by the lords of Niederpöllnitz, it passed through several owners before coming into the hands of the von Seydewitz family. The manor house on the island was torn down after the 1945 expropriation, leaving only a corner tower standing. What remains today can only be seen from around the pond.
