Germany
Schloss Hugenpoet (pronounced "Hugenpoot" – see the lengthening e) is a three-part moated castle surrounded by moats in the Essen district of Kettwig, in the immediate vicinity of Schloss Landsberg. Its name can be interpreted as "toad pool", which points to the marshy floodplain landscapes of the Ruhr valley there. Since February 1985 the complex has been a protected monument and today serves as a hotel and restaurant.
