Manningaburg, Manor house in Pewsum, Krummhörn, Germany

The Manningaburg features stone walls, an internal courtyard, a wide moat, and a gatehouse that exemplifies medieval defensive architecture in East Frisia.

Built in 1458 by Poppo Manninga, the fortress served as the residence of East Frisian chieftains until 1565 when it was sold to Count Edzard II.

The structure houses a museum dedicated to East Frisian chieftain history, displaying artifacts and documents from the medieval period through modern times.

The manor opens Tuesday through Thursday and weekends from 11:00 to 15:00 between May and October, with special rates for NordseeCard holders.

The castle functions as a civil registry office where couples can hold their wedding ceremonies in a historical medieval setting.
