Wesenberg Castle, Medieval fortification in Wesenberg, Germany

The castle features a bergfried tower and sections of the original ring wall, standing on elevated ground in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Nicholas I of Werle founded the castle in the middle of the 13th century to protect Wesenberg, until a fire caused major destruction in 1630.

The fortress represents the architectural evolution from wooden to stone fortifications, marking a significant period in Northern European defensive construction methods.

Adults pay 2.80 euros and children from age 6 pay 1 euro to access the exhibition rooms and climb the restored tower.

Since 1950, the castle houses the local forestry administration offices, combining historical preservation with modern administrative functions.
