Burg Weisweiler, Water castle in Eschweiler, Germany
The castle complex features a seven-meter-high ring wall made of rubble stone and four semi-circular towers on an almost square ground plan.
The first documented lord of the castle, Winricus von Wizwilre, appeared as a witness in a document from the Archbishop of Cologne in 1176.
The stone barn on the south side of the castle was transformed into a Protestant church in 1952 following a donation by the Leyer family.
The castle ruins maintain their original entrance through a round-arched gate on the east side, flanked by two 16th-century buttresses.
Archaeological findings from the castle grounds are displayed in glass cases inside the current Resurrection Church, which occupies part of the complex.
