Topographically water castles are a type of lowland castle . There is a further distinction between Water castles, that are protected by artificial water filled moats or pond s man made defences Water castles, whose primary means of protection is from river courses or which stand on islands in a lake or natural pond natural defences . In all cases, water is used as an obstacle to hinder an attacker. That apart, an abundant supply of water was also an advantage during a siege . Such a castle usually had only one entrance, which was via a drawbridge and that could be raised for protection in the event of an attack. To some extent these water castles had a fortress like character. In many places in Central Europe castles that had formerly been fortified changed their role or were converted over the course of time so that they became largely representational and residential buildings. The characteristic moats thus lost their original security function, but were retained in some cases as an element of landscape architecture landscaping .
