Burg Engelsdorf, Medieval water castle in Aldenhoven, Germany.
The castle comprises a two-winged structure with thick walls and a moat supplied by the Merzbach river, featuring Gothic architectural elements.
First documented in 1080, the castle served as the ancestral residence of the Lords of Engelsdorf before passing to the Palant family in 1476.
The castle transformed into an art center in 1989 when Chilean artists established their atelier, foundry, and wood workshop within its walls.
The castle underwent substantial restoration work in 2007, requiring an investment of 50,000 Euros to secure the Gothic vault structure.
The Merzbach river continues to supply water to the castle's moat system, maintaining its original water castle characteristics from medieval times.
