Burg Jennelt stands in Krummhörn (Landkreis Aurich), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Jennelt no longer stands: it was a fortified house built on a village mound in the municipality of Krummhörn, East Frisia. Nothing of the building itself remains to be seen today, as the last traces were torn down in 1930. The moated site measured 70 by 70 metres and lay right next to the church at the centre of the settlement mound. What remains of interest is mainly the history of the place and the noble families who held it over the centuries.
