Pipinsburg, Medieval castle ruins in Geestland, Germany
The circular fortress stands on the western edge of the Hohe Lieth ridge, featuring a ring wall that extends six meters in height.
The castle site dates back to approximately 1000 CE, with the first documented mention of the name Pipinsburg appearing on a map from 1603.
Local tales and historical records connect the fortress to the rulers of Bederkesa, who maintained extensive lands around the castle and supported Neuenwalde Monastery.
The castle ruins remain accessible throughout the year, with visitors needing to arrange transportation to reach this northern German historical site.
The fortress overlooks the former navigable Sieverner Aue waterway, which provided strategic control over regional maritime traffic before the marshland drainage.
