Haus Demmin, Medieval castle ruin in Demmin, Germany

The remains of Haus Demmin occupy an island where the Tollense River meets the Peene River, with fortification walls visible above ground.

The castle originated in 1127 as a Pomeranian fortress, serving as residence for the Dukes of Pomerania-Demmin until Wartislaw III's death in 1264.

The structure represents early medieval brick architecture, with its core building constructed around 1200 following the design of a round donjon.

The castle grounds include both a main fortress area and an outer bailey section, covering approximately one hectare of land near central Demmin.

Swedish and Imperial forces damaged the fortress during the Thirty Years War, leading to the demolition of its defensive tower in 1648.
