Wasserburg Schwebda stands in Meinhard (Werra-Meißner-Kreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 16th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Schwebda was once a moated stronghold in the Schwebda district of Meinhard, in Hesse, its surrounding ditch formerly linked to the river Werra.
