Spantekow Fortress, Renaissance fortress in Spantekow, Germany.
The fortress spans across 4 hectares and features a water-filled moat surrounding an irregular square structure with a distinct gatehouse.
Lord High Steward Ulrich von Schwerin and his wife Anna supervised the complete reconstruction of Spantekow between 1558 and 1587.
The fortress represents a rare example of Italian-influenced Renaissance military architecture in Northern Germany, displaying advanced defensive design elements.
The fortress remains closed to visitors during extensive renovations aimed at transforming the site into an international arts center.
This structure stands as the sole preserved ringfort from the early Renaissance period in Northern Germany, maintaining its original defensive layout.
