Burg Fischhausen, Medieval water castle in Wangerland, Germany.
The castle features a double moat system spanning 180 by 160 meters, with water channels measuring approximately 12 meters in width.
Built around 1400 by Matthias von Fischhausen, the castle served as the residence for East Frisian chiefs and included a stone house with a tower.
Two sandstone portals adorn the entrance doors, with the tower door displaying the Fischhausen coat of arms and the year 1578.
The castle remains under private ownership by the Schiersch family and requires advance permission for any visits or photography.
The fortress grounds were declared the Fischhausen Nature Reserve in 1980, preserving the natural environment surrounding the medieval structure.
