What to expect
The Burgturm Plau am See is a lowland castle with a preserved medieval tower that was topped with a conical roof in the 1920s. The fortification is surrounded by ancient embankments that still mark the original boundary of the structure. The castle was founded in 1287 and served as a strategic defensive post for the region. It houses the Plau City Museum with exhibitions about local crafts and the region's development over time. The tower contains an original dungeon from the 15th century whose walls have remained stable for over 5 centuries. This space offers a rare glimpse into medieval prison structures and how they were built. Visitors can explore the grounds and the tower, and enjoy the surrounding area with its unique diversity of species, including bogs, light beech forests, and alder swamps

Mecklenburg Lakes: Trip to Plau am See
Activities: We visited the Burgturm (castle tower) and the museum next to it. Unfortunately, the tower and museum were closed at the time, but we looked at them from the outside
Highlights: We were disappointed that the tower and museum were closed. We would have loved to see the view from the top and the exhibits inside, and the kids were intrigued by the prospect of the dungeon ✨
