    The castle was built between 1236 and 1250 and was one of the most important castle complexes in Mecklenburg in the Middle Ages. The keep, the remains of which today form the "Leaning Tower", was built in the third phase between 1390 and 1453. After the castle owners Riebe interfered in an inner-city Stralsund conflict, a Stralsund force conquered and destroyed the fortifications of the castle in 1453.
