Princess Town Fort (Gross Friedrichsburg)

Princess Town, Princess Town · Western

A substantial Brandenburg fort on a headland at Princess Town, unrestored and atmospheric above the surf.

The local tip

It is unrestored and overgrown, which is part of the appeal; ask in the village for the caretaker and take care on the stairs.

Check before leaving

Confirm access and the caretaker's fee, which are arranged informally.
