Burg Ilow, Medieval fortification in Neuburg, Germany
The remains of Burg Ilow occupy three and a half hectares on Wallberg hill, with visible fortification traces in the southwestern section.
The castle served as an Obotrite stronghold until 1164 when Heinrich the Lion ordered its reconstruction as a frontier fortress after burning it down.
The name Ilow originates from the Slavic word 'Ilu', meaning clay or mud, reflecting the local clay extraction activities of the period.
The site currently functions as farmland, with a signpost indicating the former castle location and archaeological findings in the northeastern section.
A second fortress named Burg Ilow II stands 1.3 kilometers east in the forest, creating a distinctive pair of historical defensive positions.
