Eppsteiner Schloss, Water castle in Schotten, Germany.
The rectangular castle features a three-story building constructed with rubble stone walls and includes preserved sections of the original water moat.
Built after 1328 as an administrative center for the Lords of Eppstein, the castle underwent destruction in 1382 and subsequent reconstruction by 1403.
The building represents medieval German architecture with its round stair tower and corner quoins, reflecting construction methods of the 14th century.
The castle stands at Schlossgasse 6 in Schotten, operating under protection as a designated cultural heritage monument with guided tours available.
The castle maintains elements of its water defense system, including sections of the moat, despite the removal of outer fortifications in the 1750s.
