Schloss Gerzen, Renaissance castle in Gerzen, Germany.

The two-story Renaissance building features a steep pitched roof, window frames, cornices, and an onion-domed corner tower from the 16th century.

Swedish forces plundered the castle during the Thirty Years' War, and in World War II it protected valuable exhibits from the Munich City Museum.

The castle chapel, built in 1695, represents the Baroque architectural period with its arched extension and ornate decorative elements.

The castle now operates as a hotel and restaurant, offering visitors accommodations and dining experiences within medieval stone walls.

In 1618, the castle received permission to brew beer, marking its transition from a military structure to a center of local production.
