Wasserschloss Netra, Water castle in Netra, Germany

The Renaissance structure stands with a mansard roof, four corner towers, and a hexagonal staircase tower on its southwestern side of the building.

Originally owned by the Lords of Netra until 1558, the castle passed to the Lords of Boyneburg-Hohnstein who constructed the current building between 1590 and 1600.

The castle represents the architectural transition in German defensive structures, combining residential comfort with traditional fortress elements like moats and towers.

Located at Schloßstraße 9-12 in Ringgau-Netra, the privately owned castle allows visitors to view its exterior structure from the surrounding streets.

The northern section of the original water moat was filled in 1847, while the remaining three sides maintain their historical water-filled defensive features.
