Ulferts Börg

The Ulferts Börg features thick exterior walls measuring between 0.55 and 0.72 meters, with a two-story front building spanning 15 meters in width.

Built between 1200 and 1300, this stone house stands as one of the oldest fortified residences in East Frisia, with its earliest surviving sections dating to 1430.

The entrance hall incorporates a Baroque portal adorned with coats of arms from previous owners, reflecting the architectural evolution of the 18th century.

The medieval fortress now functions as both an agricultural complex and a guest accommodation facility, situated near a nature conservation area.

A walled-up arrow slit in the western gable remains as evidence of the building's original defensive purpose during medieval times.
