Plau am See Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

On May 6, 1287, the castle in Plau was inaugurated by Knight Johann Kloß.
He was also appointed as bailiff. In 1448/49, the castle bailiff Lüdeke Hahn was commissioned at Basedow Castle to expand the castle into a fortress. The castle tower and the walls (remains) date from this period. The purpose of the expansion was to put a stop to the robber barons in Brandenburg.
From 1508 to 1552, the castle cellar was used as a wine cellar.
When Duke Henry V, the Peaceful, died in 1552, wine growing stopped again.
From 1538 to 1550, the Plau Castle was expanded into the largest fortress in northern Germany. The castle and the city surrounded by walls had to endure 8 major sieges and lootings from 1618 to 1648.
In 1630, a plague epidemic killed many residents.
The imperial troops finally left the city in 1651.
From 1660 onwards, the fortress was demolished, only the tower, rampart and some remains of the wall remained standing.
In the middle of 1920, the dilapidated battlements were replaced by the original conical roof.
For the 750th anniversary of the confirmation of the city charter in 1985, some committed citizens set up a local history museum in the castle tower.
After 1990, citizens of the local history association worked on expanding the museum.
In 2004, the city library moved into the main building.
For several years, the castle cellar has been opened for Christmas Street.

Plau Lift Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Boats pass under the 13-meter-long bridge, which is a listed building, when leaving Lake Plauer and heading for the Elde. With a lifting height of up to 1.86 m, it is the highest lifting bridge in Mecklenburg. The clearance height depends on the water level.

Viewing pier at Plauer See

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a footbridge through the reeds between Plau and Plötzenhöhe. When you arrive at the front you have a great all-round view of Lake Plauer. But the reeds are also unique.
