Burg Coppenbrügge stands in Coppenbrügge (Landkreis Hameln-Pyrmont), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Recorded dating: 13th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Coppenbrügge is a well preserved ruin of a moated castle built in the 13th century by the Counts of Spiegelberg near Coppenbrügge in Lower Saxony. Visitors can still see the gatehouse flanked by two round towers, the foundations of the medieval buildings around the courtyard, and the surrounding moat. A half timbered building that once served as the local courthouse now houses a museum. On the earthen rampart stands a remarkable centuries old lime tree, associated with a historic 1697 meeting between Tsar Peter the Great and the Electress of Hanover.
