Schloss Fikensolt, Water castle in Westerstede, Germany.
The castle stands on a square island measuring 39 by 37 meters, encircled by an 8-meter-wide moat with access through a southern bridge.
The Lords of Fikensolt, first mentioned in the Rasteder Chronicle around 1127, held the castle until their lineage ended in 1613.
The current structure, built in the 18th century, incorporates elements of earlier buildings and reflects the architectural evolution of German noble residences.
The property operates as a private estate and remains closed to public access, though cyclists frequently pass by on regional cycling routes.
Archaeological excavations in 1973 revealed multiple construction phases from the 12th to 15th centuries beneath the present building.
