Wasserschloss St. Ulrich, Water castle and heritage monument in Mücheln, Germany
The castle combines Gothic and Baroque architectural elements around a medieval tower, with a Renaissance bay window featuring an onion dome near the main entrance.
The von Breitenbauch family owned the castle from 1528 to 1764, during which time they established French-style baroque gardens and an English landscape park.
The castle served different purposes through time, from a noble residence to a youth facility and children's home between 1948 and 1993.
The water moat surrounding the castle requires constant filling to prevent the oak foundation posts from drying out and losing their stability.
The castle stands on oak pile foundations and underwent extensive renovations between 1921 and 1925, expanding the baroque wing to thirteen axes.
