Burg Mark, Medieval castle ruins in Hamm, Germany
The castle remains include a seven-meter-high main hill and a two-meter-high outer bailey, surrounded by defensive water-filled ditches and earthen ramparts.
The castle served as the residence of the Counts of Mark until 1391, when they moved their seat to the Lower Rhine after uniting with the County of Cleve.
In 1976, during Hamm's 750th anniversary celebrations, the location of the former palace and an ancient well were marked to preserve historical memory.
The castle grounds are accessible through Soester Street in the Uentrop district of Hamm, with information panels explaining the construction and historical background.
The castle structure represents one of the largest and most complete motte-and-bailey fortifications in Westphalia, featuring characteristic medieval construction methods.
