Tips
The Garz castle wall is a reminder of the former Slavic settlement.
The hilltop castle, built in the mid-12th century, underwent several test excavations and soundings as early as 1725, uncovering, among other things, Slavic ceramics and a large number of iron finds. The excavation results, as well as written records, prove that the West Slavic Rans had a princely seat here. However, this castle, built as a timber-and-earth structure, is far less important than the Karenz Temple Castle near Venz. With the re-construction of a castle on the site of the former Slavic ring wall, Garz, as a princely seat and young town, only gained greater power and influence on Rügen around 1300.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-slawischer-burgwall-garztranslated by
