Schloss Breill, Medieval castle in Geilenkirchen, Germany.

The two-story brick castle features a mansard roof, two square towers at the western corners, and a four-winged economic yard adjacent to its courtyard.

Originally built as a medieval motte in the 12th century, the castle underwent modifications from the 17th to 19th centuries before its destruction during World War II.

The mansion received architectural influence from Johann Joseph Couven in 1754, incorporating elements of late Baroque design with contrasting light blue stone parts.

Located south of Bundesstrasse 221 between Geilenkirchen and Übach-Palenberg, the castle remains inaccessible to public visitors.

A pond measuring 80 by 50 meters contains an island with remnants of the original 12th-century structure that preceded the current castle.
