Burg Odenhausen, Medieval water castle in Berkum, Germany
The castle consists of two sections separated by water-filled moats, connected by bridges leading to a two-winged manor house at 228 meters elevation.
First documented in 1316, the castle began as a motte structure in the 11th century before evolving into a water fortress with outer and inner bailey.
Four privately owned castles line the water castle route in Wachtberg, with Burg Odenhausen serving as a venue for local community gatherings.
Visitors can access the courtyard and participate in guided tours that explain the castle's architectural features, including its natural spring-fed moat system.
The castle incorporates a pavilion-style extension featuring a two-story bay window with late Gothic tracery and volute gables above the upper window row.
