The Burgwall Reddershof is a former Slavic fortified site located west of the village of Selpin, built on a natural spur jutting into a broad lowland. Locals refer to this ground as the 'Burggarten'. No archaeological excavation has taken place here so far, and the visible remains are limited to traces of an earthwork, likely raised only on the southern, landward side, while the other sides were protected merely by simple palisades or hedges. Surface finds suggest the site served as a refuge fortress used by Slavic peoples between the 8th and 10th centuries.
