ヴォルデックの洞窟・トップ16

Manor house/castle from 1847. Currently under private restoration

Now we begin to explore the castle grounds. Slavs have settled here before. There was a chapel in the lower gate, originally with a drawbridge over the moat that was once filled with water. There were originally three moats. The castle was largely completed in 1270. https://youtu.be/sCNikq-kH-Q

In the border region fought over by Brandenburg, Mecklenburg and Pomerania, the von Raven family built this castle in 1250, which fell to the Lords of Blankenburg 30 years later! The keep still stands 24 meters high. I would have loved to climb the tower! But I was still able to take a look at the surroundings with my drone!

The castle, a typical border castle, is named after a Uckermark noble family who owned it from the 14th to the 17th century. had in possession, referred to as “Blankenburg”. The castle ruins lie on an artificially created castle hill about 4 m high. The castle hill is approximately rectangular and surrounded by an 8 m wide moat. The partially preserved curtain wall enclosed an area of approx. 36 x 28 m. Remains of a building (gate tower?) protruding from the western curtain wall can still be seen. The high corner tower with a round superstructure is located on the SW corner of the Bering. The keep is also called the Fangelturm.

Steep approach and descent to the castle. It's worth it, a place to stay. In an outbuilding, coffee and cake are offered in the castle garden, among other things. Self-service. Nicely decorated building, relaxed atmosphere, nice service, nice conversations about "old times"!👍 Free apples from the castle garden. Nice experience and highly recommended!

Although interesting, unfortunately there are no information boards

The castle ruins can not only be viewed from the outside. The key is in the fisherman's house. Just ask nicely

A very beautiful city with many small hidden sights.
