Wasserschloß, Medieval moated castle in Eschau, Germany

The Wasserschloß stands on a rectangular island surrounded by water, with its stone walls reflecting in the moat throughout the seasons.

Dating from the 14th century, this fortified structure served as a defensive stronghold for Bavarian nobles during regional conflicts and territorial disputes.

The castle exemplifies medieval German architectural elements with its fortified entrance, defensive towers, and traditional Bavarian building techniques.

Visitors can access the castle grounds by crossing the stone bridge, while guided tours are available from April through October by appointment.

The castle maintains its original water defense system, with the moat fed by natural springs that have flowed continuously for over 600 years.
