The castle wall of Jatzke , a district of the city of Friedland in the Mecklenburg Lake District , is a Slavic castle wall from the 7th to 9th centuries.
The ground monument is located southeast of the village in what is now the park area. The castle complex consists of an oval main castle, which is in front of an arched rampart to the northeast. In the wall of the outer and main castle you can still see a gate system. The castle was in the tribal area of the Wilzen and has an area of 1.5 hectares. The Slavic castle was built in a naturally protected place, surrounded by water and moors. Archaeological investigations by Volker Schmidt revealed that the castle did not last very long and was briefly repopulated in the 11th to 12th centuries. Outside the complex was a settlement that was examined in 1978 by the “Heinrich Schliemann” youth club.
