The castle wall of Clausdorf , a district of the municipality of Kittendorf in the Mecklenburg Lake District, is located directly on the road from Hungerstorf to Clausdorf . The Slavic ramparts in the form of a low castle lay on the Kittendorfer Peene and bordered directly on the northern bank of the Great Varchentiner Lake .

The hill fort once had a diameter of 70 to 80 m. The remains of the castle were half destroyed when the modern road was built, so that today only a semicircular wall is preserved. This is about six to seven meters high in the north.
