Burg Vehlefanz, Medieval castle ruins in Vehlefanz, Germany
The remains of Burg Vehlefanz include a brick tower and wall sections surrounded by water defenses located 15 kilometers northwest of Berlin.
Built in the 14th century as a residence for knights, the castle was demolished in 1786 to make way for an administrative building.
The name Vehlefanz derives from Slavic words 'velij' meaning large and 'vas' meaning beard, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the region.
The castle site features an artificial mound measuring 62 meters in diameter at its base and 39 meters across its upper platform.
The castle grounds served as Napoleon's temporary headquarters in 1812 after the original structure was converted into an administrative building.
