The so-called Burg Uetersen (I) is one of the two abandoned castles on the edge of the Pinnau and was located on the current site of the Uetersen Monastery. It was built by the knights of Barmstede before 1234 and abandoned by them around 1240. Another castle ( Burg Uetersen (II) ) of the knights was located on the current company premises of Harles and Jentzsch .
The former Niederungsburg was probably a main castle , which was surrounded by a wide moat (today also popularly known as the "moat") and a bailey or a watchtower that was also surrounded by a moat (pale moat). The castle complex (moat) was first mentioned around 1234 in a deed of donation from Heinrich II von Barmstede. Other mentions come in the Fundatio of the Uetersen monastery (founding history of the monastery from 1237) and the Otia Jersbecensia (1738) of the royal. dan. Chancellery and government and higher court advocates Jürgen Grube .
The first verifiable research into the castle complex was undertaken by Johann Friedrich Camerer in 1759, but he did not find any useful traces of the castle complex. Later further research into the castle complex was undertaken. The existence of the castle could be proven on the basis of documents and certificates from various local historians such as Detlef Detlefsen (1891), Hans Ferdinand Bubbe (1932), Hans-Herbert Henningsen (1962), Konrad Struve and Doris Meyn (1968). The first surface finds were found during remodeling work on the monastery grounds in 2008. Various earthenware from the 13th century was brought to light. An archaeological investigation by the Schleswig-Holstein State Archaeological Office is still pending.
