Schloss Marientraut, Medieval water castle in Hanhofen, Germany

The castle features a moated structure with defensive walls, a central building complex, and architectural elements from different construction periods throughout its existence.

Bishop Raban von Helmstatt ordered the construction of this fortified residence in 1414 to secure territorial authority and control water supply to Speyer.

The castle bears the name of Saint Mary, decorated with a stone image and inscription from 1463, reflecting the religious significance of the bishopric.

Located at coordinates 49.315888, 8.337454, the castle site maintains historical records and documentation accessible through regional archives and historical societies.

In 1417, stones from its dismantled walls were repurposed to strengthen the urban fortifications of the Imperial City of Speyer after a military conflict.
