Schloss Sonsfeld, Medieval château in Rees, Germany.
The rectangular castle structure featured corner towers and a gate tower with a hipped roof design near the Rhine River.
First documented in 1368 under Steven von Wittenhorst ownership, the original castle was dismantled by 1707, leading to new constructions on the site.
The property includes remnants of a 50-hectare Baroque garden with preserved water basins and avenues, reflecting the architectural preferences of past centuries.
The current mansion, known as Blaues Haus, remains under private ownership and does not permit public access to the grounds.
The Turmallee, a particular avenue on the grounds, creates a direct line to the Battenbergturm, connecting two significant properties of the von Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld family.
