Spandau Gord, Medieval fortress on Havel island, Berlin, Germany
The fortress features four corner bastions, thick stone walls, and a central courtyard surrounded by defensive structures and ancient buildings.
Built between 1559 and 1594 by Count Rochus zu Lynar, the structure replaced an earlier Slavic settlement from the 13th century.
The fortress functions as a museum complex displaying removed Berlin sculptures, including statues of Friedrich Wilhelm III and Queen Luise.
Visitors access the fortress via a drawbridge leading to the main gate, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The Julius Tower, originally constructed as a watchtower, contains walls measuring 4.5 meters in thickness and reaches a height of 30 meters.
