Burg Niederkastenholz, Medieval castle in Euskirchen, Germany.

The castle features a defensive tower from the 12th century and stone walls surrounded by a moat in the North Rhine-Westphalia region.

Built in the 11th century, the castle served as a beneficium for monastery provosts until its secularization in 1804 under French administration.

The castle structure represents the architectural evolution of rural fortifications, combining medieval defensive elements with 18th-century residential additions.

Located at 220 meters above sea level, the castle sits near Euskirchen city, which provides accommodation and transportation connections for visitors.

The original water castle maintains sections of its medieval moat, while incorporating an 18th-century monastery extension built between 1752 and 1756.
