Burg Nieder-Rosbach stands in Rosbach vor der Höhe (Wetteraukreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burg Nieder-Rosbach is a former moated castle standing on the bank of the Rosbach stream, in the Nieder-Rosbach district of Rosbach vor der Höhe, Hesse. Its origins date back to the 13th century, when it served as the seat of the lords von Carben, before passing through several noble families and being rebuilt into a manor house at the end of the 17th century under the Greiffenclau zu Vollrads. The present building, with a massive stone base and a half-timbered upper floor, retains part of a restored moat and a three-arched stone bridge leading to the entrance. Now owned by the town, it houses a public meeting facility rather than a museum.
