Wasserburg Schwarzenhasel
Wasserburg Schwarzenhasel, Water castle in Schwarzenhasel, Germany.
Wasserburg Schwarzenhasel is a water castle near Rotenburg an der Fulda featuring a fieldstone foundation and two timber-framed levels. The building is surrounded by a wide moat on three sides that remains its defining feature.
The castle first appeared in records in 1371 as a holding of the Abbey of Hersfeld. Its current form was built around 1600 by the von Trott family, who owned it until the line ended in 1813.
The building reflects the lifestyle of its former residents through its layout and construction, showing how a noble family organized their living and defensive spaces. Visitors can see how the timber-framed design and stone foundation worked together to create both comfort and protection.
The building sits at Lispenhäuser Straße 41 in Rotenburg an der Fulda and is easily visible from the road. The water setting means the surrounding ground can be wet, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
The building received the Hessian Monument Protection Prize in 2017, recognizing its importance as a cultural landmark. This award highlights how the structure has survived in remarkable condition despite its age.
