Wasserburg Zilly, Water castle in Osterwieck, Germany.

The fortified structure spans 200 by 300 meters with thick stone walls and features two distinct sections separated by water-filled moats.

First mentioned in 1172, the castle served as a strategic stronghold for the Counts of Regenstein before becoming property of the Bishop of Halberstadt in 1504.

The castle includes a Knight's Hall measuring 27 by 9 meters and contains late Renaissance wall paintings in the Colorful Chamber.

The castle grounds house a kindergarten, and the municipality of Zilly manages ongoing restoration work through a dedicated support association.

The main castle tower reaches 30 meters in height with walls measuring 3.60 meters thick, maintaining its complete original structure.
