Schloss Assen, Water castle in Lippetal, Germany.
The castle features multiple towers, defensive structures, and moats surrounding the main building complex constructed in the Lippe Renaissance style.
Initially established in the 11th century as Borch to Assen, the castle became a possession of the Ketteler family in 1384 through imperial appointment.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia water fortifications, incorporating Renaissance design elements from the 16th century.
The property functions as a religious community center managed by the Servants of Jesus and Mary, following its transition from a boys' boarding school.
The castle grounds include a neo-Gothic chapel built in 1858 and a bronze sculpture commemorating Cardinal von Galen installed in 2007.
