The castle probably goes back to an 11th century ring castle built under the Polaben Prince Ratse. Under Heinrich von Badewide, the Slavic hill fort was expanded into a stone fortress and was the center of the County of Ratzeburg for a short time. After the end of 1227, Ratzeburg went as a fief to the Ascanians, who founded the Duchy of Saxony-Lauenburg.
Unfortunately, these are the only remains of the fortress today.

Remnants of the former fortress can still be found in the park today.

There is not much to see here other than a few late medieval remains of walls.
