Schloss Kellersberg, Medieval castle ruins in Alsdorf, Germany.

The four-winged water castle featured two square corner towers topped with slate-covered domes and lanterns, along with a west wing manor house.

First documented in 1338, the castle changed ownership through centuries until 1897, when a fire destroyed it completely, leading to its abandonment.

The castle grounds became the foundation for the Kellersberg workers' settlement, built by the Eschweiler Mining Association to house mine workers and their families.

The only remaining element of the original structure is a coat of arms stone from 1724, now embedded in the gate wall of Kellersberger Farm.

The former castle grounds later included a racecourse that hosted dog races and cycling events until World War II, when it became a prisoner camp.
