Wasserburg Grünau stands in Langenweißbach (Landkreis Zwickau), in Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Wasserburg Grünau was a moated stronghold, now vanished, located in the Grünau district of Langenweißbach, in the Landkreis Zwickau, Saxony. It was founded by the lords of Wildenfels and stood north of the village, in a hollow fed by springs and surrounded by several ponds. No structure has survived above ground; what remains today is a water-filled ditch and an outer earthen bank, the only visible traces of the site. Archaeological investigations there have so far yielded no finds to shed further light on its history.

What to know
