Haus Gripswald, Water castle in Meerbusch, Germany
The mansion features a four-winged brick farm building and a two-story rectangular structure with an attached round corner tower at its entrance.
Originally mentioned as a farmstead in the 12th century, Haus Gripswald received fiefdom status in 1422 and remained under electoral control until secularization.
The round tower contains 28 Romanesque double columns from the ruins of St Maria and Andreas monastery in Knechtsteden near Dormagen.
The eastern wing of the structure now serves residential purposes, and visitors can observe the exterior while respecting private property boundaries.
The round tower underwent a height extension in 2018, modifying the traditional appearance of this North Rhine-Westphalia architectural monument.
