The Wasserburg Bissingen is a former moated castle site, now reduced to earthworks, located in what is today the parish garden of Bissingen an der Teck.

A mound still rises about four metres above the bottom of a rectangular enclosing ditch, and faint remains of ramparts can be seen to the north and east. No standing structures remain, only the shape of the ground.
