Schloss Bellinghoven, Water castle in Rees, Germany.
Schloss Bellinghoven consists of a horseshoe-shaped main building situated on a rectangular island surrounded by a water-filled moat at the outskirts of Rees.
The castle received its first documented mention in 1325 when Knight Dietrich von Bellinghoven offered it to Count Dietrich VIII of Kleve as an open house.
The castle now operates under the Caritas Association of Oberhausen, providing therapeutic and educational support for young adults facing psychological challenges.
Located at Bellinghovener Strasse 6 in Rees, the castle can be reached via Kreisstrasse 11 from Hamminkeln, with the entrance approximately 300 meters before Mehr.
The structure evolved from a medieval motte with a defensive tower into a water castle that remained operational through multiple conflicts and reconstructions.
