Burg Lindelbrunn stands in Vorderweidenthal (Landkreis Südliche Weinstraße), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Lindelbrunn Castle is a medieval ruin set on a sandstone outcrop northeast of Vorderweidenthal, in Rhineland-Palatinate. Founded around the mid 12th century as an imperial stronghold meant to help defend Trifels Castle, it still shows remains of a great hall built around 1190 to 1200, identifiable by its paired windows and rusticated stonework. Burned down by rebellious peasants in 1525, it has stood as a ruin ever since, with parts uncovered and stabilised in the late 20th century. Reaching the site involves a short forest walk rewarded by wide views over the surrounding hills.
