From the 13th century there was an existing here a Rundburg. In the years 1559-1565, the area was turned into a fortress, and with varying use as a prison, and partly military again. In 1894 the military use ended completely. Today, after restoration, there is a museum in it.

The Dömitz Fortress, located on the Mecklenburg bank of the Elbe, is one of the few very well-preserved lowland fortresses from the 16th century in northern Germany. Laid out in the form of a pentagon and provided with bastions and casemate vaults, it shows the impressive defense architecture of the Renaissance. The client, Johann Albrecht I of Mecklenburg, had the fortress built to protect the Mecklenburg state border and to control the revenue from the Elbe. Due to the special nature of the building and due to the exceptionally good state of preservation, it was placed under monument protection in 1975.
