After the First Upper Gate was badly damaged in 1352, the then lord of the castle, Johann I von Stargard, had the outer wall of the main castle broken through and a new gate built through which wagons could also drive.

The over 750-year-old castle is the northernmost hilltop castle in Germany and the oldest secular building in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Originally built as the royal palace of the Margraves of Brandenburg, it is now a major tourist attraction. The complex comprises eleven buildings from various eras and one of Germany's northernmost vineyards with 1,200 vines. Visitors will find a museum, a herb garden with a café, a hotel, a castle inn, and the tourist information office. The 38-meter-high keep offers impressive views of the surrounding area.
