Castles, Ruins & Megaliths
Rügen’s historical landscape features diverse structures ranging from Neolithic megalithic tombs to 19th-century manor houses. This collection includes the Slavic Jaromarsburg earthworks at Cape Arkona and the monumental Nazi-era Prora complex. Explorers can find various Funnelbeaker culture dolmens near Lancken-Granitz and Burtevitz, the ruins of the once-grand Schloss Dwasieden, and the 19th-century Granitz Hunting Lodge.
