Site of Burg Osten

The
East Castle was built in the early 13th century. built by the Fam. von der Osten. In the 30 year old
It was broken up during the war and used to extract building materials. Today you can only see the moat.

It's a shame that there is no longer any access. The remains of the wall give an idea of how impressive the former customs castle was.

It was a double moated castle, as the two brothers Hartwig and Heinrich Maltzahn had a terrible falling out. The upper wall was called "the right castle", the lower wall "the outer castle". Both had their own gates and bridges to the land route! The upper part was partially destroyed when the Tollense was straightened. Unfortunately, the remains of the foundations can no longer be viewed today because there is no access to them and everything is overgrown!
