Krayer Hof, Water castle in Andernach-Eich, Germany.

The rectangular two-story main building of Krayer Hof features a three-quarters round tower with a pyramid roof in the northwest corner of the structure.

The castle's construction dates to the 11th century, and in 1336 it belonged to the Archdiocese of Cologne before passing through various noble families.

French poet Guillaume Apollinaire resided at Krayer Hof as a private tutor during 1901 and 1902, contributing to the estate's literary connections.

The castle currently functions as a residential property with agricultural operations and horse boarding facilities, though public access remains restricted.

The southeast corner contains a square two-story tower with a baroque polygonal dome, while the southwest features a gate tower with an octagonal baroque dome.
