Burg Wetterfeld, Medieval water castle ruin in Wetterfeld, Germany.

The castle remains include a large gate tower constructed with limestone and corner quoins, featuring openings for drawbridges and defensive fortifications.

Established around 1118 by Gottfried von Wetterfeld, the castle changed ownership to the Wittelsbach family in 1283 and endured multiple destructions during wars.

The structure represents one of the few water castles in Upper Palatinate, demonstrating medieval defensive architecture with its stone-lined trenches and sluice system.

Visitors can access the castle ruins without entrance fees, with parking available at Freiherr-von-Schrenk-Straße 9 in Roding, Bavaria.

The fortress complex divided into four independent building sections, with parts of its original walls now integrated into modern residential buildings.
