Wasserburg Hopen, Medieval castle in Lohne, Germany
The castle stands with thick stone walls surrounded by a moat and is located in the Hopener forest near the Hopener Mühlenbach stream.
Count Herbort von Dinklage constructed the fortress in 1516, and Swedish and Hessian soldiers burned the outer castle during the Thirty Years' War in 1637.
The stone entrance features a sandstone canopy displaying the coat of arms of the von Haren and Löw von und zu Steinfurth families.
The castle underwent extensive renovation work in 2014, opening its doors to public guided tours in September 2015.
The original drawbridge was removed in 1880, and the castle tower collapsed into the moat in 1825, altering the structure's medieval appearance.
