Burgberg Wolde stands in Wolde (Landkreis Mecklenburgische Seenplatte), in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burgberg Wolde marks the remains of a medieval stronghold raised on a mound within the Wolde estate park, almost entirely encircled by a water-filled moat. Probably founded in the late 13th century, it was destroyed in 1491 during a siege led by Duke Bogislaw X of Pomerania, after an explosion of the defenders' powder stores wrecked its fortifications. Visitors can still trace the outline of a small raised inner bailey and an attached outer bailey, along with the ruins of a 19th-century neo-Romanesque church built on the same grounds.

What to know

  • The site lies within the Wolde estate park, at the end of a path southeast of the village.
  • What remains consists of earthworks, ditches and ramparts rather than standing buildings.
  • The neo-Romanesque church built on the former castle grounds can only be seen as a ruin.
  • No opening hours, fees or visitor facilities are known for this site, which is freely accessible.
  • The ground is naturally damp near the moat and stream, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
