Burg Grimnitz, Medieval castle ruin in Joachimsthal, Germany
The castle remains stand on a sandy elevation between Werbellinsee and Grimnitzsee lakes, featuring preserved vaulted cellars and foundation walls.
Constructed in 1247 as a Romanesque border fortress, the castle served as a hunting lodge for the Ascanian Margraves of Brandenburg until its decline in 1340.
The structure represents medieval defensive architecture of the Ascanian dynasty and demonstrates the historical development of fortifications in Brandenburg region.
