The castle wall of Feldhusen , a district of the community Dassow in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg , is located northeast of the village on the so-called Schlossberg. It is a circular rampart , which is also known as "Harkenwall". It was located in a lowland near the Deipses and was thus naturally protected against rapid attacks. The castle complex is believed to date from the Middle to Yugoslav period of the 10th to 12th centuries. It was in the tribal area of the Obodrites and was the fortified seat of a local nobleman. There is also an old legend about the complex. Klaus Störtebeker is said to have sought refuge in the castle wall, allegedly his stolen treasures are said to be hidden here.
