Burg Adorf, Medieval castle ruins in Adorf, Germany
The stone walls of Burg Adorf stand in the center of Adorf, with remnants of a ring wall marking the former water castle location.
The castle, first documented in 1120 as Adorp, became a subject of territorial disputes between the Archbishopric of Cologne and the Counts of Waldeck.
The transformation from a defensive stronghold to a manor house reflects the changing social structures and architectural needs of German nobility through centuries.
The castle grounds contain foundations of former buildings including a distillery, brewery, stables, and a kitchen garden from its 1688 configuration.
The water moats, supplied by the Wirme River, protected a stone residence until 1816 when Heinrich Christian Graubner filled them during reconstruction.
