In October 1636, on the hills south of Wittstock, a Swedish army crushed the combined forces of the Holy Roman Emperor and Saxony in one of the bloodiest battles of the Thirty Years' War. Archaeologists later found a mass grave of soldiers on the battlefield, and a museum in the tower of the old bishop's castle in Wittstock tells the story of the war and its brutal impact on ordinary people. The town itself is enclosed by one of the most complete medieval brick walls in Germany, with towers and a gate.
