Burg Lenzenberg stands in Beuron (Landkreis Sigmaringen), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Recorded dating: 11th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Lenzenberg, also known as Langenfels or Linzenberg, is a ruined spur castle perched on a 790-metre rock near the hamlet of Neumühle in Beuron. Likely built in the 12th century under the Counts of Montfort, it survives only as scattered wall remains and traces of a former keep. The levelled rock platform of the former outer bailey now serves as a viewpoint over the twin ruin of Falkenstein and the nearby Schaufelsen. This is a destination for hikers and ruin enthusiasts rather than a conventional castle visit.
