Egeskov Castle
Egeskov Castle is a 16th-century water castle on the island of Funen in southern Denmark, built on oaken piles in a small lake. The extant brick structure comprises two long buildings linked by a thick central double wall, with round corner towers and fortified openings; much of the estate and parkland remain part of the property today.

The shape it held in its prime.
A red-brown brick water castle set on an island of oak piles within a shallow lake, formed by two long rectangular ranges joined by an unusually thick double wall. Each long range terminates in round corner towers with conical roofs built in vertical panel sections. Facades show oversized medieval "monks" bricks, round-arched windows and blank arcading in the gables, a double string course, steep tiled rooflines, artillery ports, scalding holes and narrow arrow slits.
