Burg Salzwedel, Medieval castle ruins in Salzwedel, Germany.
The castle complex spans 220 meters in diameter, featuring a 24-meter-tall round tower with walls measuring 3.60 meters thick at the base.
First documented in 1112 during Emperor Henry V's siege, the castle protected a strategic crossing point over the Jeetze River and trade routes.
The remaining structures include sections of defensive walls, moat remnants, and the St. Anne's Chapel, representing medieval German fortification architecture.
The castle grounds contain a memorial hall constructed in 1923, with archaeological findings from the 12th century displayed at the Danneil Museum.
The tower features a high entrance positioned twelve meters above ground level, demonstrating medieval defensive engineering principles.
