Burg Bederkesa stands in Geestland, on a former stronghold hill by the Bederkesa lake, in the district of Cuxhaven. Its origins go back to the 11th century, when knights in the service of the Archbishop of Bremen held the site, though the stone buildings seen today mostly date from the 15th and 16th centuries. The castle now houses a museum dedicated to regional archaeology and hosts cultural events. Visitors can see a nearly intact 15th century vaulted cellar and a stair tower rebuilt according to its 17th century design.
