Wasserburg Schloss-Nauses, Water castle in Otzberg, Germany.
The main house and gate tower of Wasserburg Schloss-Nauses stand within a rectangular layout measuring 26 by 32 meters at 170 meters above sea level.
Built around 1357, this lowland castle changed ownership multiple times before becoming part of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1806 following the German Mediatization.
The castle represents a late medieval noble residence, featuring a semi-circular stair tower added in 1583 with a coat of arms above its entrance.
The castle grounds remain accessible throughout the year, with several restaurants and hiking trails available in the surrounding area of Otzberg.
The fortress originally incorporated water defenses fed by a nearby stream, demonstrating medieval engineering principles for castle protection systems.
