Putzwei stands in Wilhelmshaven (Wilhelmshaven), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Putzwei refers to the remains of a former Frisian chieftain's seat, now vanished, located in the Sengwarden district of Wilhelmshaven, Lower Saxony. No built structure from the late medieval or early modern period survives; only an artificial mound, or Wurt, remains, surrounded by traces of a double moat system. A stone sarcophagus, likely dating to the 12th century, can still be found in the garden of the farmstead now standing on the mound. The site is of interest mainly for its historic earthworks rather than for any standing remains.

  • The site lies on private farmland in the Sengwarden district of Wilhelmshaven.
  • An old stone sarcophagus can be seen in the garden of the present-day farmstead.
