    The silence is nice, little frequented and great to walk

      Today one larger and several smaller hills can be seen in a charming moorland landscape. Mansingen Castle has the character of a motte, with the main and outer baileys each located on a hill and separated from each other by a moat. The complex is surrounded by a common ditch with a rampart, although a second surrounding ditch can be seen in the northwest. The 1.5 m high outer bailey hill has been divided by a ditch, giving the impression of a three-mound mound similar to the nearby Elmendorf Castle. The 2 m high main castle hill has a plateau measuring 19 × 23 m, the outer bailey formed an irregular trapezoid measuring approx. 37 × 54 m.

      The excavation carried out in 1969 revealed ceramics from the 12th to 14th/15th centuries. Century, which is very compatible with the historical data of the Lords of Mansingen, which is documented between 1226 and 1385.

        Dive deep into the history of castles and palaces on holiday in East Friesland: ideally, start your hiking trail at the Oldenburger Strasse / Schlossweg intersection. There is also a parking lot here if you arrive by car. Here we go!
