Blocksberg, Medieval castle in Ratekau, Germany.
The Blocksberg castle stands on elevated ground with stone walls and defensive structures, overlooking the landscape of Schleswig-Holstein near Pansdorf.
Dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, this Wendish fortress served as a strategic defensive position for monitoring movements across the surrounding territories.
The fortress grounds contain archaeological remnants that demonstrate the architectural methods and daily life patterns of medieval settlements in northern Germany.
