Motte Schwanenmühle, Medieval castle ruin in Wiescheid, Langenfeld, Germany.
The fortification features a circular hill with a diameter of 20 by 30 meters, surrounded by an 8 to 10-meter wide defensive ditch.
Built during the 11th or 12th century, the Motte Schwanenmühle preceded the construction of Wasserburg Haus Graven, which was established around 1300.
The site represents a prime example of early medieval defensive architecture in the Vorderbergisches region, with its preserved earthworks and moat system.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through two marked hiking trails: the Posthornweg and Klingenpfad circular routes.
The northern section maintains its original water management system, with selective openings at both ends allowing controlled flooding from the Viehbach stream.
