Berum is a village in the region of East Frisia, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is an Ortsteil of the municipality of Hage, part of the municipal association (Samtgemeinde) of Hage, although its metropolitan area practically borders that of the nearby town of Berumbur, to which it is located to the west.
The village is mostly known for its castle of the same name, one of the most important sites in East Frisian history. It is thought that the castle dates from c. 1310.[2]
