Amoenau Castle, Manor estate in Wetter, Germany
The castle structure includes a garden pavilion and a distinctive tower called Rapunzelturm, with fifty rooms spread throughout the half-timbered building.
King Heinrich II granted this land to Stephanstift of Mainz in 1008, leading to the construction of the stone foundation by Lords of Hohenfels in the 15th century.
The castle tower received recognition through Otto Ubbelohde's 1909 illustration, which connected the structure to Brothers Grimm fairy tale collections.
The Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz organization supports restoration efforts through donations, addressing structural repairs and preservation needs of the historical building.
The castle stands on an elevated position encircled by Asphe and Treisbach streams plus a mill channel, reflecting medieval defensive planning.
