Burg Wölpe, Archaeological site in Erichshagen-Wölpe, Germany.
The remains of Burg Wölpe stand on an artificial mound near the Wölpe stream, featuring foundations of medieval stone structures and defensive elements.
The castle, first documented in 1151 as Wilipa, served as a residence for the Counts of Wölpe until they sold it to Duke Otto II in 1302.
Archaeological excavations since 2011 have uncovered numerous artifacts, including ceramics and weapons, revealing details about medieval life in Lower Saxony.
The site underwent a renovation plan in 2010 to remove undergrowth and create accessible paths for pedestrians and cyclists visiting the historical location.
Researchers discovered a late medieval skeleton buried without a coffin in an unusual position, suggesting extraordinary circumstances during that period.
