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.

Although interesting, unfortunately there are no information boards

Can you drive well?

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

Here you can borrow the key to the castle ruins

Easy to drive bike path. The further stretch to Woldegk, however, has no cycle path and is well used by cars. Here you might prefer to drive over the Heplter Berg to Woldegk.

Friedrich II (Eisenzahn), Elector of Brandenburg, conquered the castle. It was destroyed in the 30 Years War.
