Burg Friedland, Medieval castle in Friedland, Brandenburg, Germany.

The fortress features a double ring of walls, two residential towers, and strong foundations with thick walls reaching two meters in width.

The castle, first mentioned in 1301 as Castrum et Oppidum Vredeburch, became property of the Order of St. John in 1518 under Master Veit von Thümen.

The castle now houses the Central Library of Friedland, established in 1975, and regularly hosts exhibitions and cultural events since 2005.

A children's playground stands in front of the castle grounds, while numerous hiking trails extend through the surrounding Lower Lusatia region.

Following a devastating fire in 1623, the castle underwent extensive reconstruction until 1658, resulting in a plastered timber-frame structure between two residential towers.
