    (Old) bishop's castle in Wittstock/ Dosse - construction started in 1244, residence of the bishops of Havelberg between 1271 and 1548 as part of the imposing city wall complex, which still today almost completely encloses Wittstock. The office tower and mayor's house have been preserved.

    Today the Bishop's Castle houses the Museum of the Thirty Years' War and the Ostprignitz Museum, which deals with the history of the city.

    The 32-meter-high Amtsturm (gate tower from the 13th century) is the last major surviving part of the castle. Over the centuries, it has had an absurd career: administrative seat, cattle shed, granary, youth hostel, and finally a museum. On the outer walls, you can still see old chimney flues, beam holes from defensive walkways, and bricked-up embrasures – traces of a construction style that was rebuilt and repurposed several times.
