Norderburg, Water castle in Dornum, Germany.

The Norderburg stands as a fortified residence surrounded by protective water moats, featuring two stone lions guarding its main entrance.

Built between 1668 and 1720, this manor house underwent transformations from a defensive stronghold to an educational institution in 1951.

The Knight's Hall within Norderburg contains baroque paintings that represent the artistic preferences of German nobility during the 17th century.

Visitors can access the castle grounds and join guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical background of this Lower Saxony monument.

The castle functions as an active middle school while maintaining its status as a preserved heritage site, combining education with historical preservation.
