Wasserburg Ebersbrunn stands in Lichtentanne (Landkreis Zwickau), in Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Wasserburg Ebersbrunn was a moated stronghold that has since vanished, located in the village of Ebersbrunn, now part of the municipality of Lichtentanne in Saxony. All that remains of this medieval structure is an earthen mound and a water-filled ditch, set in the damp lowland along the Pleiße river. There is no standing building to visit: the site survives only as an archaeological trace in the landscape.
