The castle is currently being restored and is currently not open to the public

In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Warnowers, a Slavic people, settled on the lake, built a mighty ring wall on the (then) island and thus a castle that could only be reached via a bridge, and their village on the headland in front of it. All of this was excavated again (from 1973 onwards), and because everything was well preserved by the moor, it became an open-air museum and we can look at it. Very interesting, highly recommended. (Now in the off-season, the whole thing is even free.)

Extensive excavations took place between 1973 and 1980, during which remains of a Slavic settlement from the 9th and 10th centuries were uncovered.

The circular castle wall, visible from afar, is located on an offshore peninsula. It has a diameter of 50 meters. The castle complex was reconstructed based on the excavations and set up as an archaeological open-air museum

The town hall of Güstrow is a successor to the first town hall, which was built in the 13th century. The current seat of the Güstrow city administration was inaugurated in 1798 and is located in the center of the Mecklenburg town, right in the town center. The Gothic parish church of St. Mary is in the immediate vicinity. Source: Wikipedia

Interesting to see how our ancestors lived.
