    An information board gives information about the former Wirkesburg, which can no longer be seen today. The Wirkesburg, also called Witte Burg, was a small early medieval ring wall, the remains of which are on the west side of the Deister near the Lauenau district of Feggendorf in Lower Saxony. The hill fort on the mountain slope probably served the population as a refuge, but could also have served as a fortified aristocratic seat. The period of origin and use of the complex, which has not yet been archaeologically examined, is classified in the 10th to 12th centuries.
