Burg Bärwalde, Medieval castle ruins in Niederer Fläming, Germany.
The remains of Burg Bärwalde include a square residential tower constructed from bog iron stones and two brick cellar vaults near a water-filled moat.
Originally built in the 12th century as a Slavic fortification against Wendish invasions, the castle passed to the Hohenzollern family in 1417.
The castle grounds feature a double chestnut tree avenue leading to the ruins, reflecting the landscaping preferences of German nobility in past centuries.
Located 500 meters south of Bärwalde village center, visitors can observe the remaining Gothic tower and parts of the defensive moat system.
From 1462 to 1815, the castle formed part of Brandenburg exclave completely surrounded by Saxon territory, with border walls still visible today.
