Remains of a late medieval motte-and-bailey castle, consisting of two motte-and-bailey castles situated in a marshy pond. Villages founded by immigrant settlers in the Middle Ages usually included a small castle complex. These were built by members of the lower nobility, who, as locators, led a group of immigrants.
The actual castle consisted of a ring ditch surrounding a small hill.
In Klein Plasten, the moat even encloses two low hills.
The settlement, initially consisting of only a few farmsteads, bordered the motte-and-bailey castle. From this settlement, the present-day village of Klein Plasten developed.
