Schallenburg, Water castle in Schwadorf district, Brühl, Germany.
The rectangular two-story castle features five axes of plastered brickwork and two round three-story corner towers on opposite sides of the structure.
The original construction dates to the 12th century, with substantial renovations completed in 1694 under the ownership of the von Schall zu Bell family.
The water castle represents traditional Rhineland defensive architecture, combining residential comfort with strategic military positioning through its moat system.
The castle remains private property with restricted access, surrounded by a protective fence to maintain the security of its current residents.
The three-wing half-timbered outer bailey connects to the main building through stepped gables, creating a harmonious medieval architectural ensemble.
