The Altfriesack castle wall is the stables of a Slavic castle wall in the north-west of Brandenburg . It is located on the north bank of the Bützsee in the Wustrau-Altfriesack district of the Fehrbellin community .
The castle wall was occupied from the 9th to the early 13th century and probably formed a cultic center of the tribe of the Zamzizi , who inhabited the center of the Ruppiner Land . It is located 250 m south of today's Altfriesack on a promontory protruding into the Bützsee. The point was strategically important to control a peripheral road running here along the Rhinluchs and the shipping traffic between the Ruppiner Seenkette (including Tornowsee , Zermützelsee , Ruppiner See and Bützsee) and the Havel .
Between 1845 and 1850 the ramparts were partially removed. In 1857 a 1.62 m high figure of a Slavic stake god ("Altfriesacker Götze") made of carved oak was found nearby ; it is now in the possession of the Neues Museum Berlin . Bronze Age and Middle Slavic ceramics were found on the "Schlossberg" ( location ) located 400 m southwest of Altfriesack .
