The castle wall of Garzin , a district of the municipality of Garzau-Garzin in the Märkisch-Oderland district in Brandenburg , is the castle stables of a Slavic castle wall .
The ground monument is located directly north of the village on the eastern bank of the Haussee. The former Wallburg is now wooded and partly overgrown. Therefore, a visit is recommended in the winter months. Narrow beaten paths lead over the quite large castle wall. Today's place name Garzin contains the Slavic word "Garz", which means something like castle . It is therefore likely that the place developed from an old outer bailey settlement. In times of need, the local population withdrew to the weir system , which lay like a peninsula through the lake and surrounding moors and was thus naturally protected.
