Kleinsiersdorf Castle (Ruin) (Wurm)

To be privately owned

It is a three-winged outer bailey complex, fortified by a double moat system, and the manor house, formerly separated from it by a moat. The two-story manor house, newly built in the 18th century, with three by four axes and a hipped mansard roof, has only survived in remnants on the ground floor after war destruction, with baroque bluestone window frames. The two-story farmyard from the 16th - 17th century with a round-arched bluestone gate entrance and a rectangular drawbridge opening, as well as an original hollow block frame window, was severely damaged in World War II. During reconstruction, the openings in the masonry facing the inner courtyard were altered.

Of the moat system, the inner right-angled moat ring has been preserved and is still filled with water. The additions and superstructures built after 1945 are not part of the monument.
