Burg Wetterfeld, Ruined water castle in Roding, Bavaria, Germany.

Burg Wetterfeld, also called Altes Schloss, is the ruin of a water castle in the centre of Wetterfeld, part of Roding in the Upper Palatinate. Its deep revetted moat, fed by the village pond to the northeast, could be flooded through a sluice. Of the walls with zwinger and wall towers, the large gate tower remains, built of rubble stone with corner quoins and two passages with niches for drawbridges.

A Diepoldingen ministerialis named Gottfried von Wetterfeld is documented in 1118; the inheritance passed to the Wittelsbachs in 1283. The castle was destroyed in 1428 and 1433 and rebuilt, then destroyed twice by Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War and rebuilt again. It was later divided into four legally separate castle holdings, and after its caretakers left, the grounds were parceled out and built over with private houses.

The name Wetterfeld is first recorded in 1118 with the ministerialis Gottfried von Wetterfeld, a member of the Cham-Vohburg margrave family and brother of Abbot Reginboto of Reichenbach. The complex was later split into four legally separate "Burghuten", each granted independently, and the grounds were eventually divided and built over with private houses.

The castle ruins can be explored at no cost to visitors. Parking is available nearby at Freiherr-von-Schrenk-Straße in Roding.

The castle was split into four legally separate "Burghuten", each granted independently, which is why no single main building survives. The deep moat on the northeast side, bordered by the village pond, could be flooded through a sluice in wartime.
