Burg Schermbeck, Medieval water castle in Schermbeck, Germany
The stone fortress stands with its square tower and gatehouse, completely encircled by a water moat in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Built around 1300 by the Counts of Cleves, the castle endured multiple destructions, including a significant burning during the Thirty Years' War in 1640.
The castle structure represents the architectural style of Niederungsburg, a typical lowland fortification design from medieval Northern Germany.
Located at Burgstrasse 10 in Schermbeck, the castle remains under private ownership, requiring advance arrangements for any potential visits.
The preserved southwestern corner features the Diebesturm, while the structure maintains its complete water moat system at 27 meters above sea level.
