The ring wall lies in the swampy , partially drained bank area 150 meters from the Havel . The development of the village of Parey begins about 500 meters north. The origins of the castle complex date back to the Bronze Age. After the abandonment at the latest for the Great Migration , it was renewed by the Slavs in the early Middle Ages . The ramparts are ring-shaped to oval . With its encircling moat, the Parey rampart has an extension of 130 meters from northwest to southeast by 110 meters from northeast to southwest. To the east of the former wooden castle, a suburb settlement is assumed. In 1960 the system was described with a smooth inner wall, an already heavily filled ditch and an almost completely eroded wall. Only in the north-eastern area are parts of the protruding visible. Further remnants of the ramparts of up to 1.5 meters in height are said to have been detectable in the northwest. In 2018, ledges can be seen above all in the digital terrain model of the Brandenburgviewer .
