Wasserschloss Schatthausen, Water castle in Schatthausen, Wiesloch, Germany

Wasserschloss Schatthausen is a three-wing, three-storey water castle surrounded by an intact moat. It stands in Schatthausen, a district of Wiesloch in the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg, and is a protected monument. The east wing dates from after 1562, the north wing from around 1720.

The eastern wing of the structure was built after 1562 by the Bettendorff family, who shaped the property. Around 1720, the northern section was added, and since 1828 the castle has been owned by the Göler von Ravensburg family.

The entrance gate displays a coat of arms that documents the connection between two noble families and recalls their time of rule. Such heraldic symbols help visitors understand the different owners and their importance to the region.

The castle remains in private ownership and is not open to visitors, but can be admired from the outside. The best views are from the surrounding pathways, which offer an overview of the water castle and its surroundings.

The moat is fed by the Schwarzbach stream and encircles the three-winged complex, which was enlarged with a farmstead after the north wing was added around 1720. The Göler von Ravensburg family, owners since 1828, still holds the castle today.
