Lauvenburg, Water castle in Nemmenich district of Zülpich, Germany
Lauvenburg stands on a square island surrounded by moats fed by the Rotbach stream through the Mühlengraben water system.
The castle dates back to 1356 when records first mentioned Henz von Loewenberg and served as an open house for the Duke of Jülich.
The late Gothic brick construction incorporates architectural elements from different periods, including a manor house and crenellated outer bailey walls.
The stone bridge that replaced the original wooden structure provides access through an arched gateway to the castle grounds.
Following acquisition in 1860 for 40,000 talers by farmer Bergerhausen, the castle remains in possession of the same family, known as Wasserburger.
