Burg Niehuus, Medieval hillfort in Harrislee, Germany

The archaeological site consists of a 40-meter by 30-meter castle mound with a remaining semicircular embankment near the Danish border.

Count Klaus of Holstein-Rendsburg constructed the castle around 1345 to serve as a toll station and protect the city of Flensburg.

The location marks an intersection of medieval trade routes, including the Krummer Weg, which connected Flensburg to the ancient Ochsenweg path.

The site remains open for visitors who can examine the castle mound and explore the connected network of historical walking paths.

A receipt from 1365 documents toll payments at Niehuus, demonstrating the economic system of medieval merchant and pilgrim routes.
