Schloss Borlinghausen, Renaissance moated castle in Willebadessen, Germany.

The castle stands on a steep slope of the Egge mountains, enclosed by a water-filled moat with decorated stone balustrades along its bridge.

Built in 1587 under Werner von Spiegel, who served as hereditary marshal of the Prince-Bishop of Paderborn, the castle underwent renovations in 1779.

The architecture represents the Weser Renaissance style, a regional variation of Northern Renaissance architecture common in the Weser river region.

The castle remains private property of the Weichs family, with restricted access to visitors who can observe it from designated mountain biking trails.

A thousand-year-old giant oak tree grows one kilometer away from the castle in the direction of Löwen.
