Wetter Castle is a historic castle complex. It was built in the 13th century and originally served as a refuge and residence for the Counts of Mark. Wetter Castle has undergone various architectural changes over the centuries. Today, parts of the original medieval structure remain, including the keep, the residential building, and parts of the curtain wall.
