Evenburg, Water castle in Leer, Germany
Evenburg stands amid streams and ponds, featuring neo-Gothic architecture with Dutch influences, decorated ceilings, and an English garden-style park.
Colonel Erhard Reichsfreiherr von Ehrentreuter constructed the castle between 1642 and 1650, naming it after his wife Eva, Baroness Ungnad of Bohemia.
The castle functions as an educational center, housing the Education Academy of East Frisia and a college for grammar school teachers.
Visitors access the castle through a double avenue, exploring the main hall, remarkable staircase, and surrounding park with paths to River Leda.
The 1703 Baroque bastion remains intact, connecting to the castle grounds where concerts and guided tours take place throughout the year.
