On the east bank of the Kastorfer See lies the large Slavic rampart. The entire three-part castle complex was settled in the Old Slavic period. On the basis of archaeological finds and the current state of research, it is assumed that the facility was built by the beginning of the 7th century at the latest. Like all such Wilzian castles, it was destroyed in the middle of the 9th century. In the middle of the 13th century there was another brief settlement in the main castle of this complex, which left behind individual late Slavic and early German remains.

The Wildberg Castle Wall is located in the municipality of Wildberg on the eastern shore of Lake Kastorf. It consists of a smaller main castle and two arched outer castles and was built in the 7th or 8th century. The castle complex has been repeatedly renovated and expanded over time.

Together with the castle wall island on Lake Kastorf, these castles presumably form the political and cultural center of the Tollenser people.
