Toolse castle

Toolse castle (German: Tolsburg) was a crusader castle belonging to the Teutonic Order. It was completed in 1471. At one point of time, it was reportedly the northernmost outpost of the Holy Roman Empire.

Today only ruins remain. A conservation and archaeological survey scheme has been carried out at the site since 2006.
