Burg Friesack, Medieval castle in Friesack, Germany.
The castle structure stands on marshland terrain, featuring defensive walls and foundations adapted to the wet ground conditions of Brandenburg region.
Originally constructed as a Slavic fortification before 1150, the castle gained prominence when Albrecht the Bear incorporated it into the March of Brandenburg.
The castle received its name from the Frisian settlers who built dams through the swamps of Rhine and Havelland regions in medieval times.
The castle site functions as both an architectural monument and archaeological landmark, registered in Brandenburg's heritage preservation list.
In 1414, the castle fell to Frederick VI using a large cannon called 'Faule Grete', marking a significant advancement in medieval siege warfare.
