Crottorf moated castle

Brief description

Worth a trip this weekend is the water castle Crottorf in the local community of Friesenhagen in the Druiden.Hexen.SiegerLand. It is a former estate that was converted into a water castle in the year 1542.

Detailed description

The water castle Crottorf in the Druids.Witches.VictoryLand is surrounded by four distinctive towers, with a cozy and equally romantic park featuring century-old trees. In 1326, a yard in Crottorf was first mentioned. This was converted into a water castle by Johann von Selbach in 1542. The artist Domenico Rosso described the water castle in 1661 as "a piece of paradise that fell from the sky."

Today, the castle is the residence of Hermann Graf Hatzfeldt-Wildenburg-Dönhoff.

An external visit is possible on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
