Schulenburg, Medieval castle complex in Salzwedel, Germany.
The defensive structure features an 8-meter-high rampart that encircles a high plateau measuring 80 meters in length and 65 meters in width.
The Slavic fortress, constructed in the 9th century, served primarily as a refuge point with evidence suggesting a settlement existed in front of its main structure.
The castle shares architectural characteristics with other regional fortifications like Groß Raden, representing the medieval military engineering of Slavic builders.
The remaining castle mound indicates the former location of a central tower, while traces of the old riverbed suggest the presence of a protective moat.
An artificial depression visible from the road to Marlow marks the location of this medieval complex within the Recknitz meadows.
