Burg Hudemühlen stands in Hodenhagen (Heidekreis), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Hudemühlen is a vanished castle site in Hodenhagen, Lower Saxony. Built by the von Hodenberg family after their earlier seat was destroyed in 1289, it was transformed in the 16th century into a Renaissance Schloss before being demolished at an unrecorded date. Nothing of the structure remains above ground, only a low rectangular rise in the ground marks where it once stood.

What to know

No standing structure remains, only a slight rectangular earthwork around 100 by 90 metres.
The site lies in Hodenhagen, in the Heidekreis district, along the Meiße stream.
There are no visiting hours or admission fees since there is no building left to visit.
Knowledge of the former castle's appearance relies mainly on a 1654 engraving by Merian.
