Kaaksburg, Lowland castle in Kaaks, Germany.
The Kaaksburg fortress stands on level ground, utilizing water-filled moats and ramparts as primary defensive elements in the Steinburg district.
Medieval builders constructed this defensive structure in the flatlands of Schleswig-Holstein, following the architectural patterns of northern German fortifications.
The castle represents a traditional type of German defensive architecture, where approximately one-third of all castles were built on low-lying terrain.
Visitors can reach Kaaksburg by taking local transport to the municipality of Kaaks, which maintains regular connections with the Itzehoe-Land region.
The castle combines natural marsh defenses with artificial fortifications, demonstrating medieval engineering techniques in flat terrain environments.
