Burg Lage stands in Neuenhaus (Landkreis Grafschaft Bentheim), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Burg Lage stands as a ruin on a rectangular plot bounded by the Dinkel river and a moat fed by it, near Neuenhaus in Lower Saxony. Its brick walls, pierced with gun loops, still stand in places, and at the centre rises a rectangular tower topped with an octagonal upper section. The site bears the marks of a turbulent history of destruction and rebuilding across the medieval and early modern periods. Nearby stands the Haus Lage, a 17th century manor house with no architectural link to the fortress but part of the same estate.
