Burg Geretzhoven, Medieval water castle in Bergheim, Germany.

The castle features two round corner towers with curved roofs and includes a two to three-story manor house within a four-wing layout.

Records from 1328 mention Reinhard von Geretzhoven as the original owner, with the property later passing to the von Bodelschwingh family in 1688.

The castle contains a ceremonial knight's hall that serves as a designated space for civil marriages, accommodating groups of up to forty guests.

The property includes a 300-square-meter event hall called Alte Miste, equipped with chandeliers and capable of hosting celebrations for 150 people.

The castle grounds feature an orchard and Mirabelle trees, providing natural settings for outdoor ceremonies with views of the medieval architecture.
