Burg Ordenberg stands in Pattensen (Region Hannover), in Lower Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Ordenberg is a former hilltop fortification, now vanished, whose remains lie near Nordstemmen atop the Hohewarte, a rise of the Schulenberg close to the Marienberg. Only fragments of rampart and ditch survive along part of the northwestern slope, together with the foundations of a round tower uncovered by excavations around 1900. The site has since been altered, with a water tank now standing where the tower once stood. This is a destination for those interested in faint medieval traces rather than a restored monument.
