Weiße Burg Friesheim
Weiße Burg Friesheim, Water castle in Erftstadt, Germany
The Weiße Burg Friesheim consists of a main residential building with foundations and an outer bailey surrounded by water-filled moats fed by the Rotbach stream.
The estate originated from a 9th-century manor owned by Count Emundus of Friesheim, who donated the property to Saint Peter of Cologne Cathedral around 830.
The castle represents medieval defensive architecture of North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring round bastion towers and a double moat system characteristic of lowland fortifications.
Located at coordinates 50.7546° N and 6.77145° E, the castle remains private property with restricted access and visible remnants of the outer bailey structures.
The November 1943 bombing destroyed the main residence building to its foundations, yet one round bastion tower underwent restoration while the second stays in ruins.
