Schloss Gesmold, Cultural heritage monument in Melle, Germany.
The Renaissance castle forms a two-wing structure with a four-story residential tower and contains multiple water-filled moats surrounding the main building.
The original fortress, constructed in the 12th century, belonged to the Lords of Gesmele until 1400 when ownership transferred to the von dem Bussche family.
The castle tower features four evangelist statues from the period when the Bishop of Osnabrück owned the property between 1608 and 1664.
The castle shop opens from Thursday through Sunday, and group tours for minimum ten persons require advance reservation.
Five stone cannonballs remain embedded in the castle walls, possibly evidence of an unsuccessful siege in 1436.
