Wasserburg Sachsenhagen, Water castle in Sachsenhagen, Germany.
The castle features a square keep measuring 14 meters in height with walls up to 3.2 meters thick and a two-story administrative building with a hipped roof.
Duke Albrecht I of Saxony commissioned the construction of Wasserburg Sachsenhagen in 1250 to secure territory and support colonization of the Dülwald region.
The transformation from a military fortress to a residence by Count Ernst of Holstein-Schaumburg in the early 1600s reflects the changing needs of nobility.
The castle grounds cover an area of 100 by 100 meters and stand 2.5 meters above the surrounding landscape, with private gardens occupying the former courtyard.
Archaeological excavations in 2012 uncovered pottery fragments and structural evidence spanning from the 12th through 16th centuries beneath the castle park.
