Stargard Castle

The castle complex comprises eleven preserved buildings, including a massive keep with 4-meter-thick walls standing on a 90-meter hilltop.

The settlement dates to 3000 BC, and in 1237 Duke Wartislaw III of Pomerania transferred the lands to the Margraves of Brandenburg.

The castle chapel, originally constructed as a gatehouse in 1240, transformed into a religious center by the 16th century for municipal services.

Visitors can climb the metal stairway to reach the keep's upper levels, offering views across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from multiple tower rooms.

The northernmost hill castle in Germany includes the Crooked House, which served as a magistrate office until its destruction by fire in 1919.
