Gord of Ruppin, Medieval castle in Neuruppin, Germany.

The Gord of Ruppin stands on elevated ground with remains of stone walls and earthen ramparts near the Ruppiner See lake.

The fortress served as the residence of the Lindow-Ruppin noble family from 1240 until 1524 when Brandenburg authorities annexed the lordship.

This fortified settlement represents the architectural methods of early Slavic communities who established defensive structures in northeastern Germany.

The medieval site maintains visible foundation structures and defensive elements, allowing visitors to understand the layout of this former stronghold.

The fortress required fifteen soldiers for the Imperial Army, with three mounted knights and twelve foot soldiers defending its strategic position.
