Vredeborg, Medieval castle in Nordenham, Germany
The stone fortress stands at the southern bank of the Heete River, featuring double moats and protective earthworks surrounding its central structure.
Constructed between 1407 and 1425, Vredeborg served as Bremen's stronghold to control the Frisian regions of Stadland and Butjadingen against pirate threats.
The castle grounds contain remnants of a former Carmelite monastery established in 1505, reflecting the religious transitions of the region.
Visitors can access the castle site near the current Nordenham town hall, where guided tours provide information about medieval defensive architecture.
In January 1408, the castle served as a prison for Christian VI of Oldenburg, who was captured during the Battle of Golzwarden.
