Haus Egelborg, Water castle in Legden, Germany
The castle structure combines a north wing in Dutch Renaissance style with a baroque west wing, surrounded by two moats in a forested area.
First documented in 1389 as Eghelmaring, the estate transferred to the von Oer family through marriage in 1662 and remains in their possession today.
The castle features an octagonal staircase tower, curved double staircase leading to the portal, and brick gate pillars adorned with lion sculptures bearing family crests.
Located 2 kilometers from Legden center along the Münsterland cycling network, the castle grounds remain accessible throughout the year for outdoor visits.
A mill constructed in 1907 continues to regulate water levels in the moats, maintaining the hydraulic system north of the castle complex.
