Schloss Westhusen, Medieval water castle in Westerfilde district, Dortmund, Germany.
The stone-built main house of Schloss Westhusen stands on 350 oak wooden piles with yellow exterior walls and bright corner quoins.
Gerlach Specke constructed the castle in 1332, which later suffered damage during the Great Dortmund Feud in 1388 and the Thirty Years' War.
The castle features architectural elements from different periods, including a Neo-Gothic redesign from 1886 to 1888 by the von Sydow family.
The castle operates as a senior residence since 1992, with the main building and two parallel eastern structures offering residential accommodations.
The southeastern corner includes a terrace with decorative battlements, while a polygonal tower with a bent roof rises above the eastern façade.
