Burg Hinta stands in Hinte (Landkreis Aurich), in Lower Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Hinta stands at the heart of the village of Hinte in East Frisia, ringed by a broad water-filled moat. Begun in the late 13th century as a Gothic stronghold for a local chieftain, it was reshaped and enlarged over the following centuries into the four-winged complex around a courtyard that survives today. Its oldest surviving section, the Hohe Haus in the west wing, still shows a stepped gable marking the shift from Gothic to Renaissance style. The estate has belonged to the von Frese family since 1567.

What to know

  • The burg is privately owned by the von Frese family and can only be viewed from the outside.
  • It sits right in the centre of Hinte village, an easy walk from anywhere nearby.
  • The wide water-filled moat surrounding the building offers good views without entering the grounds.
  • A 14th-century Reformed church stands just to the north, on a neighbouring mound.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees since the interior is not accessible to visitors.
