The Slavic castle wall near Neppermin , a district of the municipality of Benz on the island of Usedom , is a middle Slavic low castle from the 9th to 10th centuries.

The ground monument is located north of the village on a peninsula on Lake Neppermin, a bay of the backwater . It is an oval hill fort, the walls of which are now as good as leveled; agriculture of the past centuries may be responsible for this. The remains of the castle are still up to four meters high and are made of trees.
