Burg Obbendorf stands in Niederzier (Kreis Düren), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 9th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Obbendorf is a former manorial estate with four wings enclosing an inner courtyard, located in Niederzier in the Kreis Düren. Its oldest surviving parts, the brick gate tower and foundations, date from the late 13th or early 14th century, while the residential building with its Renaissance gables was built in 1604. The former farm buildings, now forming the north and south wings, date from the 19th century. Following a thorough renovation in 1995, the complex now houses a hotel and restaurant, which means visitors mainly experience it from the outside.
