Dömitz Fortress, Renaissance fortress and museum in Dömitz, Germany.
The pentagon-shaped fortress stands on the right bank of the Elbe River, featuring five bastions, casemates, an arsenal, and a commander's house.
The fortress was constructed between 1559 and 1565 under Duke Johann Albrecht von Mecklenburg on the foundations of a 13th-century castle.
The fortress museum displays exhibits about the city history, regional art collections, and includes a memorial hall dedicated to Low German writer Fritz Reuter.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 12:00 to 16:00, and on weekends and holidays from 11:00 to 16:00, with limited wheelchair access.
This fortress represents one of the most complete preserved lowland fortifications from the 16th century in Northern Europe, maintaining its original Renaissance defense architecture.
