The Spy(c)ker estate and castle are located in the municipality of Glowe in the Vorpommern-Rügen district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Spycker Castle is considered the oldest secular building on the Baltic Sea island. Spycker was first mentioned in 1318. At that time it belonged to the Stralsund patrician von Külpen family. In 1344 a daughter from the von Külpen family married into the Jasmund family. This is how the Spyker branch was founded by Jasmund, which died out in 1648.The castle is a rectangular, three-story plastered brick building from the 16th century. What is striking are the four round corner towers, which still make the building look like a castle today.[Source: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Spycker
