Burg Kleinvernich, Water castle in Weilerswist, Germany.

The four-winged castle complex stands with its complete water moat at 120 meters above sea level near the Erft River.

The castle, first mentioned in 1610 under the Lords of Gürtzgen ownership, underwent reconstruction in 1781 after falling into disrepair.

The evolution from noble residence to agricultural estate reflects the changing patterns of land use and social structures in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The castle functions as an active agricultural property where residents maintain the historical structures while conducting farming operations.

The stone-carved main portal adorned with coats of arms remains as evidence of the structure's previous status as a knightly residence.
