Garz Castle, Medieval Slavic fortress in Garz, Germany.
The oval-shaped earthwork fortification extends 200 meters in length and 140 meters in width, with a single entrance on its western side.
In 1165, the fortress, known as Borgar Gardz, served as a defensive structure during conflicts between local inhabitants and Danish warriors in the region.
The remains of the fortress contain numerous Slavic pottery fragments and iron artifacts, revealing the material culture of medieval Slavic settlements.
The Ernst Moritz Arndt Museum near the fortress provides information about the site's archaeological findings and regional medieval history.
The fortress rises 15 meters above the town, offering views of Garzer See while featuring a World War I memorial on its ramparts.
