The earth walls visible here are the remains of a former escape castle - a crescent-shaped weir - from (probably) late Merovingian times!

Written reports about the castle are not available. However, a wall-ditch system could be detected in the area, which dates back to the 7th/8th century as the date of origin of the fortification.

There is always a certain fascination for me from such historical places and remnants. My recommendation for reading and reflection.
