Hatzburg, Lowland castle in Wedel, Germany
The remains of Hatzburg consist of several flat hills marking the location of a former medieval defensive structure near the Elbe River.
Constructed around 1300 by the Counts of Schauenburg, Hatzburg first appeared in documents from 1311 addressing merchant protection agreements.
Archaeological excavations between 1987 and 1989 revealed multiple construction phases, including wooden and stone watchtowers from different periods.
The site presents visible foundation traces and includes an interpretive model of the defense tower based on archaeological findings.
The castle maintained its administrative function until 1710, long after its abandonment as a residence around the year 1400.
