Wasserschloß Wittringen, Water castle and tourism office in Gladbeck, Germany.
Wasserschloss Wittringen is a moated castle complex in Gladbeck comprised of two islands linked by a bridge. The main structure occupies a rectangular island and sits entirely within the water surroundings.
The castle first appeared in historical records in 1263 when a document mentioned knight Ludolfus de Witteringe. Over subsequent centuries it changed hands multiple times and served different purposes.
The castle serves as a popular venue for weddings that occur several times each month throughout the year. Visitors notice that the rooms and their historic architecture create a special setting for such celebrations.
The venue accommodates around 100 guests in the restaurant with both à-la-carte and buffet dining options. For larger gatherings, the Kings Lounge can host up to 120 people for events.
The eastern section displays a brick building from the early 20th century featuring distinctive arched passages and balustraded galleries in the historicism style. This architecture shapes the overall appearance of the complex and reads almost as a separate work of art.
