Wittstock/Dosse, Medieval town in Brandenburg, Germany
Located on the Dosse River, Wittstock extends across 420 square kilometers of Brandenburg territory, making it the fourth largest municipality by area in Germany.
The Battle of Wittstock in 1636 resulted in Swedish forces defeating Imperial troops, followed by a devastating plague that reduced the local population.
The Gothic St Mary's Church, constructed around 1240, contains a sandstone Madonna statue and features a 68-meter-high tower that dominates the townscape.
The town includes 20 administrative subdivisions and maintains direct transport connections to Berlin and Potsdam, both approximately 95 kilometers away.
The Sweden Stone, an 80-ton glacial remnant from the last Ice Age, stands as a natural monument near the town.
