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

The Burgwall Schossow is a former Slavic fortified site in a wood west of the village of Schossow, part of the municipality of Tützpatz. It consists of a small oval earthwork, only 40 to 50 metres across, making it one of the smallest surviving Slavic strongholds in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is thought to have belonged to a local lord of the Tollensian tribe sometime between the 10th and 12th centuries, though no archaeological excavations have yet taken place there. The site relied for protection on a lake that has since largely silted up, along with the surrounding marshland.

What to know

  • The site lies in woodland and is not set up for visitors.
  • The earthwork is best seen in winter, since summer vegetation hides its shape.
  • No archaeological excavations have been carried out, so the site's precise history remains uncertain.
  • There are no opening hours, admission fees or visitor facilities on site.
