Margarethenschanze, Medieval castle in Neumünster, Germany.
The circular fortification spans 90 to 100 meters in diameter, featuring remaining walls that rise up to four meters above the surrounding fields.
Built in the 9th century, Margarethenschanze formed part of the Limes Saxoniae defense system alongside Wittorfer Burg and Borgdorf fortification.
The castle grounds contain an open grassy area encircled by oak trees, representing regional medieval military architecture of Schleswig-Holstein.
Located on the western shore of Einfelder Lake, the site requires navigation through wetlands and moor areas to reach the main entrance.
The fortification served as a refuge for local populations during conflicts, strategically positioned to control the medieval route between Einfeld and Nortorf.
