Haus Werburg, Water castle in Spenge, Germany

The medieval Haus Werburg consists of a manor house, a Renaissance gatehouse, and a timber-framed barn situated west of Spenge's town center.

First documented in 1468, the castle changed ownership among four noble families: Ledebur, Ketteler, Münch, and von dem Bussche until 1941.

The gatehouse, built in 1596, displays Renaissance architectural elements of the Weser region and features original coats of arms of Ledebur and Ketteler families.

The Werburg Museum, located in the manor house, presents exhibitions about life in small noble castles during Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Archaeological excavations revealed a munitions cache from 1500, containing 50 stone cannonballs, 4 iron cannonballs, and 1600 crossbow bolts.
