Burg Gödersheim, Medieval castle ruins in Nideggen, Germany.

The rectangular two-story castle structure features rubble stone walls, Renaissance gates with round arches, and remnants of outer fortifications and forecourt.

First documented in 1343, Burg Gödersheim changed ownership multiple times, including the von Merode family and later Dr. Helmut Waldmann in 1826.

The castle represents North Rhine-Westphalia's medieval architectural heritage, with its water-surrounded design reflecting regional defensive construction methods.

Visitors should note that parts of the castle underwent restoration in 2021, with the gatehouse now serving residential purposes.

The castle's strategic position near Gödersheimer Wassermühle includes defensive elements such as arrow slits and a drawbridge system.
