Wasserburg Alt Barenaue, Medieval lowland castle in Bramsche, Germany

The castle consists of a gatehouse from 1689, stables, carriage house, and portions of the main building surrounded by water-filled moats.

First documented in 1305, the castle served as residence for the von Bar family, who were mentioned in records as ministerials of Osnabrück bishopric since 1204.

The round layout of this moated fortress represents a typical architectural style prevalent in the Osnabrück region during the 14th century.

Located at coordinates 52.4222 latitude and 8.125 longitude, the castle stands on a sand island within the Großes Moor at the foot of Kalkrieser Berg.

A wooden pipeline stretching several kilometers from Kalkrieser Berg supplied water to the fountain in the castle courtyard.

Location: Bramsche

GPS coordinates: 52.42220,8.12500
