Wasserschloss Breitenlohe, Renaissance water castle in Breitenlohe, Germany
The castle features four three-story wings with round corner towers, forming a quadrangular structure with an enclosed courtyard and surrounding water defenses.
First documented in 1340 under Albrecht von Hohenlohe ownership, the castle was destroyed in 1525 during peasant wars and rebuilt after 1569 by Kunz Christoph von Vestenberg.
The knight's hall on the second floor displays Régence style decorations from 1720, reflecting the architectural preferences of German nobility.
The castle stands in the center of Breitenlohe village and can be reached via State Road 2256, with additional historic buildings located on the eastern side.
The southwestern tower contained a prison where inmates created some of Germany's earliest documented prisoner drawings, dating back to 1585.
