Untere Burg, Medieval water castle in Kuchenheim, Germany.
The castle remains include a gatehouse from 1573 and the former manor house, now separated by a road along the Erftmühlenbach stream.
First documented in 1482 as a Cologne fief, the castle structure originally comprised two islands with a residential tower built from rubble stone.
The architectural elements of Untere Burg represent the defensive methods and residential standards of medieval North Rhine-Westphalia nobility.
Located at coordinates 50.6533 latitude and 6.82969 longitude, visitors can examine both sections of the castle remains from the street level.
The castle layout demonstrates a dual-island water fortress system, with the manor situated on the smaller island and outer fortifications on the larger one.
