Burg Elkerhausen, Medieval castle in Weinbach, Germany.
The five-tower water castle features Renaissance architecture with half-timbered upper stories, high gable roofs, and two wings constructed upon ancient vaulted cellars.
The castle, built for the Herren von Elkerhausen in the 12th century, underwent reconstruction after Archbishop Balduin von Trier's siege in 1352.
This former stronghold represents the architectural evolution of German nobility residences, combining medieval defensive structures with Renaissance residential elements.
The castle functions as a private estate, requiring visitors to maintain distance and adhere to posted access restrictions during their observations.
The castle transformed from a military fortress into an industrial site, housing a needle factory from 1786 to 1843 under Prince Karl Christian's direction.
