Wasserburg

The castle stands on a tower hill in the center of Meeder, featuring a three-wing complex with an octagonal staircase tower and pitched roof with hipped ends.

Originally constructed as a moated castle in the 11th century, the structure underwent major renovations in 1624, transforming it from a knight's estate into a Renaissance castle.

The eastern wing contains barrel-vaulted rooms on the first floor, while the basement features quadrangular wooden pillars with chamfered edges supporting flat cellar ceilings.

The castle entrance on the east side includes a small outside staircase, leading to a main door positioned within a segmental arch niche from the 18th century.

The northeast corner of the castle preserves the last remnant of the original Schellenberg fortress tower, with thick walls indicating its defensive past.
