Schloss Söldenau, Water castle and brewery in Ortenburg, Germany.

Schloss Söldenau consists of four connected wings forming a Renaissance complex, with medieval foundations covering 2000 square meters and containing 45 rooms.

The water castle first appeared in records in 1323 under Knight Schweiker I Tuschl, following its construction in 1320 as a stronghold in Lower Bavaria.

The castle's name originates from the word 'Sälde,' meaning luck in medieval German, reflecting local linguistic traditions and medieval naming practices.

While the castle remains in private ownership and closed to visitors, the beer brand Söldenau continues production through Arcobräu Gräfliches Brauhaus since 1992.

The structure transformed from a noble residence to a brewery in 1799 due to structural decay, maintaining both historical architecture and industrial function.
