Osterburg, Water castle in Krummhörn, Germany.
The Osterburg stands as a fortified structure surrounded by water defenses, incorporating traditional medieval architectural elements with regional Northern German building techniques.
This defensive structure represents a significant example of medieval fortification systems that were established throughout Northern Germany to protect strategic positions and waterways.
The castle serves as an educational center where visitors learn about medieval architecture, defense systems, and the daily operations of historical water fortifications.
Guided tours of the castle grounds occur during Heritage Day in September, when visitors can access areas typically closed to the public.
The water castle maintains its original moat system, demonstrating how medieval builders utilized water features for both defensive purposes and sustainable water management.
