Schloss Hueth, Water castle in Rees, Germany.

Slot Hueth stands on an island enclosed by a moat, featuring three wings constructed with traditional brick architecture and a round tower.

The fortress originated in the 14th century as a fiefdom of the Electorate of Cologne, built by the knights of Hekeren for defensive purposes.

The entrance bridge displays sculptures of the four seasons on brick pillars, reflecting aristocratic architectural preferences from 1687.

The castle functions as a private residence of the von Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld family, with select areas offering vacation accommodations for visitors.

Allied bombings in World War II damaged the main structure, leading to extensive renovations that transformed the northern wing into modern living quarters.
