Lauenburger Schloss, Medieval castle and park in Lauenburg/Elbe, Germany.
The Lauenburger Schloss stands on a hill overlooking the Elbe River, featuring a defensive tower with walls two meters thick.
Constructed in 1182 by Bernard of Saxony as Polabenburg, the castle underwent transformation into a Gothic palace during the 15th century under Duke John IV.
The castle complex included a church built in 1595 to commemorate the duke's return from the Turkish war, with Renaissance architectural elements.
The remaining tower contains prison cells and a lapidarium, while the current administrative building from 1708 serves as the city hall.
The original fortress walls controlled three strategic points: the town, the Elbe River, and the surrounding territories from its elevated position.
