Schloss Moers, Medieval castle in Moers, Germany
The castle features a circular fortress design with a 12th-century tuff stone tower standing on an artificial hill between former marshy Rhine arms.
From 1601 to 1763, Maurice of Orange transformed the castle into a fortified stronghold with five bastions at a cost of 100,000 guilders.
The Grafschafter Museum inside the castle displays collections of regional history, historical dolls, and hosts temporary exhibitions in its medieval chambers.
The castle museum offers guided tours with admission prices ranging from 1 to 3 euros, while children under 6 enter free of charge.
The castle contains one of the earliest brick constructions in the Rhineland, built in the 13th century to stabilize the marshy ground.
