Gut Kalkofen, Manor estate in Aachen, Germany.
The four-winged water castle contains preserved moats and corner towers, situated between industrial areas and main roads in eastern Aachen.
First documented in 1437, the estate transformed into a pleasure palace between 1750 and 1753 under architect J.J. Couven's direction.
The architectural evolution from a defensive water castle to a French-style manor reflects the changing preferences of nobility in the region.
The private property spans 40 hectares within a protected landscape area, bordered by the A544 highway and Wurmbach creek.
The manor's defense elements, including gun ports and a surrounding water moat, remain visible despite its later conversion into a residential estate.
