On the east bank of the Kastorfer See lies the large Slavic rampart. The entire three-part castle complex was settled in the Old Slavic period. On the basis of archaeological finds and the current state of research, it is assumed that the facility was built by the beginning of the 7th century at the latest. Like all such Wilzian castles, it was destroyed in the middle of the 9th century. In the middle of the 13th century there was another brief settlement in the main castle of this complex, which left behind individual late Slavic and early German remains.

It is assumed that the three castles on Lake Kastorf represented the political and cultural center of the Tollenser people.
