Burg Wittlage, Medieval castle in Bad Essen, Germany
The castle features a seven-story brown stone tower on the eastern side of the courtyard, with a white plastered building adjacent to it.
Bishop Engelbert II of Osnabrück built the fortified castle in 1309 to protect the eastern border against neighboring territories.
The castle buildings now serve as a conference center and house social services, including an inclusive café in the former tenant house.
Visitors can walk along a path near the water moat throughout the year to observe the castle exterior and its architectural elements.
The original fortress underwent multiple transformations, from a defensive stronghold to an administrative center and now a social services facility.
