Die Hünenburg bei Todenmann stands in Rinteln (Landkreis Schaumburg), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Hünenburg, also known as Frankenburg, is the ruin of a small medieval hilltop castle on a spur of the Wesergebirge north of Rinteln, in Lower Saxony. No builder or occupant names have survived, which is why the site was given its name only afterward. Visitors can still make out the restored foundations of a residential tower, a great hall (Palas), and a chapel, along with a ditch and rampart shielding the outer bailey. The setting is largely a woodland walk overlooking the Weser valley to the south.

  • Access is via an uphill path from the Todenmann or Frankenburg area, with no specific facilities mentioned.
