Wasserburg Niederroßla, Water castle in Niederroßla, Germany.
The fortified structure stands on the right bank of the Ilm River, featuring thick walls and a defensive moat system measuring 30 meters wide.
The castle dates from the 12th century when Diethmarus von Roßla, a Franconian nobleman, established the first fortification at this strategic river location.
