Haus Schwarzenstein, Medieval castle in Drevenack, Germany

The castle features a preserved central tower measuring 10 meters in height, surrounded by a moat that extends 10 meters in width.

Built around 1348, the castle underwent major reconstruction in 1889, with only the original tower from 1517 remaining in the current structure.

The property name evolved from 'Swertsteen' meaning Sword Stone, reflecting its medieval function as a defensive fortification in the region.

The estate remains private property and operates under lease to the Rhine-Westphalian Drag Hunt Association since 1961.

The square layout measures between 25 and 30 meters on each side, incorporating ancient foundations and vaults from the original structure.
