Wasserburg Kapellendorf
Wasserburg Kapellendorf, Medieval water castle in Kapellendorf, Germany.
The castle features defensive structures including a wide moat, stone walls, multiple towers, and fortified gates that form a complete defensive system.
The structure evolved from a wooden tower hill castle in 1000 to a stone fortress in 1150, marking the beginning of its architectural transformation.
The castle museum displays historical artifacts and documents that tell the story of medieval life and regional development through the centuries.
The castle museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, while the courtyard remains open daily for exploration of the medieval architecture.
The castle served as headquarters for the Prussian army under Prince Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen during the Napoleonic campaign of 1806.
