Burg Hinta, Medieval water castle in Hinte, Germany.

The brick castle forms a quadrilateral structure with a large inner courtyard, surrounded by a wide moat in the center of Hinte municipality.

Built around 1300, Burg Hinta became the residence of Chief Habbo tho Hinta in 1312 and later passed to the Allena family in 1421.

The oldest section, known as the Hohe Haus, displays architectural elements combining Gothic and early Renaissance styles in its tripartite gable design.

The castle remains under private ownership of the Frese family since 1567, allowing visitors to view only the exterior structure.

This fortress stands as the last remaining chief's castle in East Friesland, while others transformed into palaces under Prussian rule.
