Burg Schönrath, Medieval castle in Lohmar, Germany
The three-story stone castle features an octagonal chapel, remnants of the main fortress, and a moat that surrounds the architectural ensemble.
First documented in the 13th century, the castle belonged to the Lords of Schönrode before passing through several noble families including von Landsberg and von Nesselrode.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of Niederungsburg style, incorporating defensive water features common in medieval German fortifications.
Visitors can view the castle exterior from the nearby road K39, as the property remains in private ownership and internal access is restricted.
In 1928, substantial parts of the main castle were dismantled, with materials repurposed for road construction while the forecourt maintained agricultural functions.
