Haus Haan, Water castle in Dünnwald, Germany

The rectangular main castle stands on an elevated island, connected to an outer bailey, with a two-story manor house on a rectangular foundation.

The first documented owner, Konstantin von Hane, acquired the castle in 1230, and the Lülsdorff family maintained possession for three centuries until 1664.

The interior of the manor house features a coat of arms stone indicating construction dates from 1601 and subsequent restoration work from 1786.

The castle underwent extensive renovation in 1986 and now functions as a residential complex with multiple private apartment units.

The castle played a role in water management disputes, with a 13th-century agreement allowing specific water usage rights between knights and the Dünnwald monastery.
