Schelenburg, Water castle in Bissendorf, Germany.
The Gothic residential tower of Schelenburg stands within a moat, featuring thick walls and Renaissance architectural elements from the 16th century.
First mentioned in 1160, Schelenburg belonged to the lords of Sledesen until the late 14th century when it transferred to the von Schele family.
The first floor of Schelenburg served as a Protestant church from 1650 to 1803, with galleries installed during the 18th century modifications.
Visitors can find Schelenburg at Burgweg 1 in Schledehausen, Bissendorf, and contact +49 541 963 8066 for tour information.
The castle required access by step ladder to the first floor during its early years, as water completely surrounded the structure.
