Alte Burg Neustadt-Glewe, Medieval counter-castle in Neustadt-Glewe, Germany.
The fortress includes an Old House, New House, ring wall with gate, wall-walk, and tower with arrow slits on a natural dune near River Elde.
Built around 1250 by the Count of Schwerin, the castle served as a defensive structure against incursions from Dannenberg County and the dioceses of Havelberg and Ratzeburg.
The Hofstube contains Gothic and Renaissance wall paintings and incorporates a medieval warm air heating system from its original construction period.
The castle functions as a museum with exhibitions about regional history, and visitors can explore the tower, dungeon, guardroom, and defensive chambers.
An annual medieval festival takes place during the first weekend of June, featuring market vendors, jugglers, knights, and nobility in historical recreations.
