"Egeskov Slot", on Denmark's Funen island near #Kværndrup, is Europe's best-preserved renaissance water castle. Built in 1554 by Frands Brockenhuus amid post-civil war unrest, it rests on oak piles in a lake. It features a late gothic exterior with red brick, conical towers, crenellations and a renaissance interior.
