The Wasserburg Lembach was a small moated castle in the village of Lembach, now part of Homberg (Efze) in Hesse. Nothing remains above ground of the medieval structure, first recorded in 1279: it had already fallen into disuse by the time a manor house was built on the same spot between 1604 and 1606, which was itself demolished in 1945. The site today is an overgrown park with two small ponds thought to be remnants of the former moat.
