Burg Kahlenberg stands in Lutter am Barenberge (Landkreis Goslar), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Kahlenberg is not, strictly speaking, a castle anymore: it is a medieval earthwork, the remains of a vanished motte in the Rhode district of Langelsheim. No walls or towers have survived; only an artificial mound roughly five metres high remains, once surrounded by a ditch and rampart that are now silted over. No historical document mentions this fortification, and its assumed existence between the 11th and 12th centuries rests only on its shape and on archaeological excavations carried out in 1999. A visit here suits those interested in the quiet traces of a medieval landscape rather than in standing architecture.
