Burg Friedeburg, Medieval castle ruins in Friedeburg, Germany.
The stone walls of Friedeburg Castle display Gothic architecture elements, including remaining sections of pointed arches and ribbed vaults visible among the remains.
Built in 1359 by nobleman Edon Wiemken with architect Fredon von Wangern, the castle served as a defense point against the counts of Oldenburg.
The castle ruins represent the medieval military architecture of northern Germany, demonstrating the period's construction techniques and defense strategies.
The site includes informational panels and a viewing platform at the former keep location, providing an overview of the surrounding plains.
Frederick the Great ordered the complete destruction of the castle in 1763, and a windmill occupied the site from 1775 until 1981.
