Schaalsee Canal Bridge in Salem Seekamp

Highlight • Bridge

The old, narrow Schaalsee Canal Bridge crosses the canal here in Salem Seekamp. The concrete bridge isn't particularly worth seeing, but it's important and functional. From the bridge, you also have good views of the canal, which begins here at Lake Salem.

Schwarzhof archaeological site in Salemer Moor

Highlight • Historical Site

Northeast of the small lakes and moors on the slope of the Ice Age meltwater valley, between the partially silted-up forest lake and the up to 8 m steep natural slope, there is a fortified farmstead, of which almost nothing can be seen today for laypersons.
It consists of an almost flat area with a length of 100 m and a width of 45 m. The forest lake, the ditches and ramparts, the arch wall and a steep embankment suggest a very well-fortified courtyard. A bridge of earth to the north indicates an entrance. The assignment of two trough-like depressions within the complex has not been clarified. On the other hand, red to black brickwork found on the walls of buildings probably dates from the time when the farm was used. The clay material was probably bricked up when it was destroyed by fire. Stalks of cereals and forest grasses were found as a thinning of the clay. Clearly visible fingerprints were found on a piece of lime mortar the size of a child's fist.
The area of the former Feldmark "Steinecken Breede" could be managed from the farm. The fields are still marked on old maps.
One can assign the farm to the Knights of Salem. Only the nobility had or took the original right to fortify buildings.
