Rosenauer Burg, Water castle in Coburg, Germany
Rosenauer Burg is a water castle in Coburg that stands on an island surrounded by water channels. The building displays Gothic gables and corner towers rising above the quiet waters.
The castle was first documented in 1397 as a residence for mint masters of the region. Major renovations in the early 15th century shaped its current appearance and structure.
The structure evolved through various uses, from a noble residence to a fishery, washhouse, and storage facility before its restoration in the 20th century.
The building now houses administrative offices and is visible from the outside, making it easy to view from the surrounding area. The best views come from the paths that circle around the water channels.
The water channels were fed by the Hahnfluss river, which kept water circulating around the structure continuously. This hydraulic system served both defensive and water management purposes for the estate.
