Burg Waterlappe, Medieval castle ruins in Ense, Germany
The remains of Burg Waterlappe include visible moats surrounding what was once a four-winged structure near the town of Bremen in Ense.
The Fürstenberg family constructed Burg Waterlappe between 1365 and 1370 after losing their original castle, maintaining residence there until 1633.
The castle developed into a significant feudal center with both noble and non-noble vassals under the administration of the Fürstenberg family.
Visitors can observe the foundation remnants of the former water castle, with free access to the grounds throughout the year.
Records from the 19th century include an engraving by Fr. Wlh. v. Schorlemer depicting the presumed appearance of Burg Waterlappe before 1680.
