A water castle is a castle or stately home whose site is entirely surrounded by moats or natural water bodies. The water that surrounds the castle was used as an obstacle to hinder an attacker. In many places in Europe, castles that had formerly been fortified changed their role or were converted over the course of time so that they became largely representational and residential buildings. 1. Červená Lhota Castle, Czech Republic link Červená Lhota is a château situated about 20 km (12.5 mi) north-west of Jindřichův Hradec in south Bohemia, Czech Republic. It stands in the middle of a lake on a rocky island. Its picturesque Renaissance building is a destination of thousands of tourists every year. The name Červená Lhota means "red village" and can be explained by the color of the château's bright-red roof tiles. link The four-winged two-storey château, with a small courtyard in the center, occupies the whole rock and just into the fishpond. A stone bridge, built in 1622, links the château with the banks of the pond, replacing the original drawbridge. The southern edge of the fishpond is covered in thick forest, which forms a backdrop to the château. A marked circular path stretches around the fishpond. Rowing across the fishpond is a pleasant diversion on a hot summer day, and boats can be hired near the château. [link, map] 2. Schloss Nordkirchen, Germany link Schloss Nordkirchen is located in Westphalia, Germany, and was built in 1703 to 1734. It is known as the "Versailles of Westphalia" as it is the largest of the partly moated castles in that region. The castle stands on a rectangular island surrounded by a broad moat-like canal. At the island's four corners stand four small free-standing pavilions. link The garden front gives onto a landscaped park of some 170 hectares (0.66 sq mi), reached through a formal parterre of scrolling broderie on axis, flanked by expanses of lawn. The gardens and the surrounded woods are peopled with a multitude of lifesize marble statues of which the first deliveries were made in 1721 from the Munich sculptor Johann Wilhelm Gröninger. [link, map] 3. Moritzburg Castle, Germany link Moritzburg Castle is a Baroque palace in Moritzburg, in the German state of Saxony, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northwest of the Saxon capital, Dresden. The castle has four round towers and lies on a symmetrical artificial island. link It is named after Duke Moritz of Saxony, who had a hunting lodge built there between 1542 and 1546. The surrounding woodlands and lakes have been a favourite hunting area of the electors and kings of Saxony. [link, map] 4. Vischering Castle, Germany link Vischering Castle in North Rhine-Westfalia is the most typical moated castle in the Münster region of Germany. This region has one of the highest German concentrations of castles, palaces and fortifications. link The castle consists of outer defensive courtyard, defensive gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building and chapel. The sandstone walls, the red tile roofs as well as their reflection in the moat provide many harmonious views from the wooded surroundings. [link, map] 5. Trakai Island Castle, Lithuania link Trakai Island Castle is an island castle located in Trakai, Lithuania, on an island in Lake Galvė. The castle is sometimes referred to as "Little Marienburg".

In Lithuania, the castle is also considered to be one of the most beautiful historical monuments ever. In 1962, a museum was opened here. During the year Trakai Island Castle attracts up to 300 000 visitors. [link1, link2, map] 6. Leeds Castle, UK link Leeds Castle, though only one of hundreds of castles in the U.K., is unique in that it has been updated to a comfortable, livable one. It became a royal palace over 700 years ago and has seen no military action for almost that long. The castle lies in a large park on a small lake - a beautiful sight, especially in the moonlight. link Today the castle, is used for political or medical conferences, weddings and other events that benefit from a wonderfully modern, secluded environment housed in a thousand-year-old castle. [link, map] 7. Brennhausen, Germany link Brennhausen is a castle in Bavaria, Germany. It is located in the Haßberge Nature Park.

It currently serves as the seat of the state parliament. link Set in a romantic location on a small island in Lake Schwerin, Schwerin Castle is one of Europe's foremost examples of historicist architecture. The island location chosen for the original Slav stronghold, first documented in 973, offers many strategic advantages. [link1, link2, map] 9.

Herstmonceux Castle is home to events throughout the year, including the annual England's Medieval Festival on August Bank Holiday weekend. [link, map] 10.

The castle is currently a national museum.

Moyland Castle, Germany link Moyland Castle is a moated castle in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its name derives from the Dutch word Moiland which means "beautiful country".

The latter is home to a museum café, museum administration, the library and a space for changing exhibitions. [link, map]

Charles Church (Estonian: Kaarli kirik) is a Lutheran church in Tallinn, Estonia, built 1862-1870 to plans by Otto Pius Hippius. It is Tallinn's grandest 19th-century church. Tõnismägi hill has been the location of a chapel probably since the 14th century. In 1670, during the time of Swedish rule, the Swedish King Charles XI commissioned the construction of a church on the site, for the use of the Estonian and Finnish population of Tallinn (as opposed to the Baltic German population). The church was named after the king. In 1710, during the Great Northern War, this first wooden church was burnt down. In the 19th century, reconstruction plans were put forward. Donations of money were started in the 1850s, and the cornerstone of the new church was laid in 1862. The church, still incomplete, was inaugurated in 1870. The two towers on the west side were enlarged in 1882... more on Wikipedia. The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
