Gut Schlagbaum, Water castle in Holweide, Germany.
The central building of Gut Schlagbaum stands with its remaining corner tower next to the Faulbach stream, which once supplied water to the moats.
Built in the 16th century as a lowland castle, Gut Schlagbaum obtained its name from a toll collection point that operated in this area.
The Renaissance relief above the gate depicts Adam and Eve, representing the artistic elements preserved from the original structure.
The castle grounds remain in private ownership and house artists' studios, with limited public access to certain areas of the property.
After World War II, former Polish forced laborers temporarily resided in the damaged estate before the city of Cologne allocated the space to craftsmen.
