Burg Welterode, Medieval water castle in Eitorf, Germany.
The castle features a three-story plastered building with three window axes, positioned within a water-filled defensive system in the Eip Valley.
First documented in 1249, the castle was donated by Countess Mechthild of Sayn to the monastery of Herchen along with the manor Mauchenrode.
The structure represents North Rhine-Westphalia's architectural heritage, reflecting the medieval defensive construction methods of German lowland castles.
The castle stands at the southern edge of Eitorf near Mühleip, maintaining its original structure through complete renovation under private ownership.
The estate controlled multiple properties including Heckerhof, Juckenbacher Hof, and three mills at Eitorf, Ottersbach, and Unkelmühle during its operation.
