Burg Konradsheim, Medieval water castle in Erftstadt, Germany
Description
Burg Konradsheim is a medieval water castle in Erftstadt with a rectangular brick structure spanning two stories. Two corner towers serve as stairwells, and stepped gables punctuate the facades of the complex.
History
The castle was built around 1337 by Knight Arnold von Buschfeld, who later transferred its fortress rights to Archbishop Walram von Jülich. A 16th century renovation added Renaissance elements that still shape its appearance today.
Culture
The castle displays late Gothic details in its red sandstone bay window from 1548, which shows early Renaissance influences. Visitors can observe these architectural features on the facade, which reflect the craftsmanship of that period.
