Glambæk, Medieval castle ruins in Fehmarn, Germany.

The stone remains of Glambæk castle stand near the Baltic Sea coast, featuring remnants of defensive walls and foundations dating from the 13th century.

Built in 1210 by Valdemar Sejr, the castle protected the strategic area between the Baltic Sea and Burger Binnensee until its destruction in 1627.

The castle ruins represent medieval German fortification techniques, displaying construction methods and architectural elements characteristic of Northern European military structures.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked paths from the nearby parking area, with information panels explaining the site's layout and history.

The castle's position on Fehmarn island made it a crucial control point for maritime trade routes, influencing regional politics for over four centuries.
