The Thyraburg was probably a wooden Wallburg from the early Middle Ages and thus a part of Danewerks. For the construction of the castle an artificial plateau of 45 meters in length and 35 meters in width was created, which is still preserved today. From the castle, however, there are no remains.

The castle complex
The "Thyraburg" is located at a strategic corner point of the Danewerk. The rectangular plateau is at the end of the main wall and connects to the lowland of Lake Dannewerk. He landed today. Do you see the former lake shore in the landscape? The builders of the Danewerk cleverly included the lake as a natural obstacle. The north wall and connecting wall meet on the other bank.
The main wall near this point could be dated to the year 737 AD, so it existed before the Viking Age. However, the age of the castle is unknown.
