Wasserburg Schwarzenhasel, Water castle in Schwarzenhasel, Germany.

The rectangular structure combines fieldstone foundation with two levels of timber framing, surrounded by a three-meter-wide moat on three sides.

The castle's first mention dates to 1371 when Heinrich von Holzheim held it as a fief from the Abbey of Hersfeld.

The von Trott family constructed the current structure around 1600, establishing it as their ancestral seat until the male line ended in 1813.

Located at Lispenhäuser Straße 41 in Rotenburg an der Fulda, the castle received recognition through the Hessian Monument Protection Prize in 2017.

The fortress maintains its original water defense system, with the moat measuring three meters in width enclosing three-quarters of the structure.
