Schloß Werdorf, Aßlar

The Schloß Werdorf is a baroque lowland castle in Aßlar, Germany. It was built between 1686 to 1690. This small rectangular castle features two round corner towers, each with three stories and one window on each floor. Also, there are embrasures, which are openings in a wall for shooting.

 

Each corner tower is covered with a hood. A hood is a bell-shaped, curved tower roof. The attic part of each hood has three windows with gable roofs.   

The center of the facade has a two-story arbor with a gable roof. The upper story is decorated with pilasters. Pilasters look like supporting pillars because of the capitals at the top and pedestals at the bottom. But in this case, the pilasters have an ornamental function.

 

The castle can be accessed by a perron or exterior stairs on both sides of the lower arbor leading to the castle's entrance.

Opposite the castle is a one-story coach house with a hipped roof. There are two towers on each side of the structure with flat conical roofs.
