The castle tower in Plau was built in 1448/49 and is still completely preserved. The 3 m thick walls and the 11 m deep dungeon, as well as the tower ascent, amaze locals and guests alike when they visit.

The historic castle tower in Plau am See is the remaining part of a fortification that was built in 1449 to stop the raids of Brandenburg knights. During the Thirty Years' War, it offered protection against sieges and raids by the Swedes and Saxons. At the end of the war, the decision was made to "grind down" the fortifications, which meant dismantling them. Only the castle tower was spared this fate.
Until 1985, the tower was not used and was open to everyone, which was particularly pleasing for the children of Plau, who had great adventures.
In 2000, the Museum Friends of Plau am See also set themselves the task of renovating the tower and making it attractive for visitors.
