Burg Blessem, Medieval castle in Erftstadt, Germany.
The fortress features a two-story gatehouse with a rounded entrance, connected by a bridge over a dried moat to the residential section.
The castle changed ownership from Ludwig von Blessem in 1363 to the Dominicans of Cologne in 1696, marking centuries of aristocratic transitions.
The structure represents the architectural evolution of German water castles, incorporating both defensive elements and residential modifications through different periods.
The castle remains in private ownership, with the former stables converted into a residential complex containing more than 20 modern apartments.
During the severe floods of 2021, sections of the castle sustained substantial damage, leading to the closure of the equestrian facilities.
