Wasserschloss Günthersleben, Medieval water castle in Günthersleben, Germany.
The castle complex includes outer walls, a water-filled moat measuring 200 by 150 meters, and two bridges connecting the central island.
Constructed in 1143 by the Hartmann and Ortwin families, the castle served as a noble residence until 1945 before its structures were dismantled.
The castle grounds now feature an information center presenting regional geology, flora, and the extensive history of the medieval fortress.
Visitors can access the site through restored bridges and explore the remaining foundation walls while learning about local heritage.
The central island within the moat measures 140 by 75 meters, creating a protected space that defined the castle's defensive character.
