Liebenburg (Namborn) stands in Namborn (Landkreis St. Wendel), in Saarland, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Liebenburg is a ruined hilltop castle standing on the Schloßberg, between the villages of Eisweiler and Hofeld, part of the municipality of Namborn. Built around 1170 on behalf of Bishop Jean d'Aprémont of Verdun, it suffered repeated destruction before being finally ruined in the late 17th century. Visitors today can see the remains of an elliptical enclosure, a former filter cistern converted into a lookout tower, and the stump of the original keep.
