Wasserschloss Altengronau, Medieval castle ruin in Altengronau, Germany.
The castle features two water-filled moats, remnants of defensive walls, and a former granary building with a stair tower from 1551.
Built between 1506 and 1527 by Eitel Sebastian von Hutten, the castle replaced an earlier hilltop fortress that suffered damage in 1492.
The castle grounds reflect the architectural evolution from a defensive structure to later industrial uses, including a paper mill and stone processing facility.
Visitors can explore the exterior remains of the main house and observe the preserved granary building, which remains in private ownership.
The castle's strategic position at 225 meters above sea level marks the intersection of the Sinn and Gronau rivers.
