Wasserschloss Glatt, Renaissance water castle in Sulz am Neckar, Germany.
Wasserschloss Glatt is a water castle in Sulz am Neckar with four corner towers and a gatehouse that surround a restored pond to form a protective perimeter. The structure displays typical Renaissance architectural features with its characteristic layout built around the water.
The castle was founded in the 13th century and belonged to the Neuneck family until 1671, when it passed to the Trier Cathedral chapter. This transfer marked a turning point in its history and connected it with new owners and purposes.
The castle houses three different museums displaying items from the noble world, agricultural history, and an amber collection from the region. Visitors can see today how these spaces show the life and crafts of earlier times.
The castle operates today as a cultural center with rotating exhibitions throughout the year. Visitors should know that access and opening hours may vary depending on what events are taking place.
The medieval gatehouse was added in 1503 and displays gothic architecture, visible in the humpbacked stone blocks throughout the interior courtyard. These building elements tell of craftsmanship techniques that were common in that era.
