Burg Gebhardshagen is a former moated castle in the Gebhardshagen district of Salzgitter, in Lower Saxony. First recorded in 1186 as Burg Hagen, it ranks among the oldest moated strongholds of the Brunswick region. Destroyed and rebuilt twice, in 1406 and during the Thirty Years' War, it became a ducal seat of justice and administration in the 16th century before serving as a farming estate until 1986.
