Schloss Wasserlos stands in Alzenau (Landkreis Aschaffenburg), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Wasserlos stands in the Alzenau district that bears its name, in the Landkreis Aschaffenburg in Bavaria. Built in 1790 on the remains of an earlier Burg, it passed through several noble families before becoming, after the Second World War, a hospital site that still occupies the building today. The surrounding English park, with its ponds and old trees, remains open to walkers, while the building itself functions as a hospital and is not open for visits as a monument.

What to know

The castle building now houses a site of the Klinikum Aschaffenburg-Alzenau hospital and is not open for visits as a monument.
The 3.3-hectare English-style park, however, is freely accessible, with paths running along ponds and the Rückersbach stream.
It contains exotic trees unusual for the region, including giant sequoias, alongside old beeches, oaks and plane trees.
A former underground passage leads to a belvedere now used as a war memorial, though its original purpose has never been confirmed.
The site is listed as a Baudenkmal in Bavaria.
