Burg Bischhausen (Neuental) stands in Neuental (Schwalm-Eder-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Bischhausen no longer survives as a visible structure: it is believed to have been a small moated castle or fortified house, with its presumed location now occupied by the village church in Bischhausen, part of Neuental. Physical traces are scarce, as stones from the original building were reused over the centuries, including in the nearby parish church. The site is chiefly of historical interest, having reportedly been the original seat of the noble Löwenstein family before they relocated elsewhere.

What to know

No structure of the original Burg remains on site, only the presumed location, now occupied by the village church.
A local heritage association has placed a model of the former fortified house on a traffic island at the western edge of the village.
A visit therefore amounts to seeing the Bischhausen church and its surroundings, rather than an actual castle.
No opening hours, fees or access details are available, as this is a historical site without organized visitor facilities.
