Wasserschloss Reelkirchen, Water castle in Blomberg, Germany.

The stone castle stands on an island surrounded by a moat, featuring a nine-bay manor house with half-timbered construction and mansard roof.

Hermann VIII von Mengersen established the fortress in the mid-16th century while holding the village and farm as a fief from Paderborn bishops.

The interior staircase displays intricate carvings of volutes, flowers, and vines, representing architectural craftsmanship from the 18th century.

Access to the castle grounds requires crossing a stone bridge constructed in 1798, leading through an arched gateway in the outer bailey.

The upper floor contains a wallpaper room decorated with French grisaille prints from 1810 depicting three Venetian scenes.
