Wasserschloss Hofheim, Medieval water castle in Hofheim am Taunus, Germany.
The Wasserschloss Hofheim features a preserved ring wall rising ten meters high, enclosing a quadratic area aligned with cardinal directions.
The water castle was constructed between 1352 and 1356 by the Lords of Hofheim and the Counts of Falkenstein, first mentioned as Slois zu Hoiffheim.
The former administrative building, constructed around 1720, now houses local community organizations and represents centuries of regional governance evolution.
The castle remains, including the ring wall, gate complex, and wine press house, are located at Kellereiplatz in the center of Hofheim am Taunus.
The structure survived the Thirty Years' War without burning down, though subsequent failed renovation attempts led to its current partial preservation state.
