The Bömeneburg is an abandoned hilltop castle from the early Middle Ages east of today's city of Northeim in the Northeim district in Lower Saxony .
The castle was located on a mountain east of the Wieter ridge and west of Hammenstedt above a former military road, today's B 241 .
The castle was an ancestral seat of the county of Northeim im Leinegau . Since it was built of wood according to its name, it is no longer preserved today. A professional archaeological analysis of the foundation has not yet been carried out. Later they often used their courtyard (curtis) at the St. Blasien monastery (Northeim) .
It was named after the trees in the neighboring forest, which is now called "Bürgerholz".
The Count of Northeim, Siegfried III. von Boyneburg , named itself after a castle similar in name but a day trip south.
