Burgstall Niederzwehren stands in Niederzwehren (Kassel), in Hesse, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgstall Niederzwehren marks the site of a former fortification that has since disappeared, located in the Niederzwehren district of Kassel, in Hesse. Its exact location remains uncertain, though it is believed to have stood southeast of the village church, on the spot later occupied by the Perlenhof. According to historian Alois Holtmeyer, the lords of Zwehren, documented as landowners in the area from the mid 13th to the mid 14th century and likely extinct by the 16th century, were probably its owners. This is therefore not a visitable monument but a place known mainly through historical record.
