Burg Wasserburg, Medieval castle in Wasserburg am Inn, Germany.

The castle stands on a ridge formed by the Inn River, featuring defensive walls that stretch over one kilometer along the peninsula.

Built around 1200, the castle became a secondary residence for Duke Heinrich XIII, who expanded the structure between 1255 and 1290.

The Castle Chapel of St. Elisabeth von Thüringen represents medieval religious architecture with its period-specific design and construction methods.

The castle grounds include multiple structures open for exploration, including the Knights' Hall and remaining fortification walls from different construction periods.

During the rule of the Rich Dukes of Bavaria-Landshut, the castle underwent substantial enlargements to accommodate large royal gatherings and ceremonies.
