Schloss Rodenberg, Water castle and open-air museum in Rodenberg, Germany
The castle features two artillery towers, including a hexagonal bastion and a rondel, connected by walls surrounding a moat system.
Built between 1228 and 1280 by the counts of Schaumburg, the castle underwent Renaissance renovations in 1559 before changing ownership to Landgraf Wilhelm VI in 1640.
The Ständehaus, the last remaining building of the original castle, now functions as a local history museum displaying regional heritage collections.
The museum opens Saturday and Sunday from 15:00 to 17:00, with free entry and guided tours available through advance reservations.
Archaeological excavations between 2000 and 2004 revealed the original fortification system, making it the only fully excavated artillery defense of its period in Germany.
