Burg Friedestrom, Medieval castle in Dormagen, Germany
The Friedestrom castle complex spans 11,000 square meters with a three-story main building protected by water moats and substantial defensive walls.
Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden established the castle in the 13th century to control Rhine River tolls and protect regional trade routes.
The castle's architecture combines basalt, trachyte, and tuff stone materials, featuring the round Juddeturm tower named after a Cologne patrician family.
The castle houses a hotel and restaurant, allowing visitors to experience medieval architecture while enjoying modern accommodations and dining services.
Archaeological excavations between 1986 and 1991 led to the construction of a new high castle over ancient foundations with a metal-glass hall addition.
