Vri-Jade is an abandoned castle in the municipality of Jade in the Wesermarsch district in Lower Saxony from the 15th century.
construction
The Oldenburg Vogteikarte from 1790 shows the position of the castle. It represents the complex in a rectangular shape with a moat and wall system. At this point in time, however, there were no longer any buildings. At the time of the First World War , double ramparts with a height of 1 m to 1.5 m are said to have been recognizable. The interior of the castle was a 40 x 30 m plateau.
history
The castle was built in 1401 by Count Dietrich (The Happy) von Oldenburg and his brother Christian west of the Jade . The complex was destroyed by the Frisians in 1426 after the Oldenburg defeat against the Frisians at the Battle of Detern . The castle was later rebuilt by Count Gerd the Brave of Oldenburg . In 1454, only one source mentions a fortified house , this was the starting point for raids against merchant ships. The Hanseatic people affected by these raids finally destroyed the castle in 1488.
archeology
In 1997 it was difficult to identify the course of the former trenches during an inspection. A broken edge in the southern part was found. In 2006 the facility was flown over . When evaluating the aerial photos, a system measuring 70 m × 80 m with a north-west-south-east orientation was recognizable in the southern part of a pond. The interior of the facility was “cleaned” for the sowing of grassland. During this action, ceramic shards , stoneware , spindle whorls , floor tiles , remains of roof tiles, broken bricks , animal bones , iron objects and fragments of river mussels were found. The finds date from the 14th to the 16th century.
