Last day 🥲 of my mini vacation back home in #EastFrisa / #Ostfriesland. Visited the remains of the late medieval/early modern fortress of #Leerort. A few earthen embankments at the confluence of the rivers Leda and Ems is all that remained from the once mighty defense works. Originally built by the city-state of Hamburg to hold Frisian chieftains and piracy at bay, Leerort later came into the possession of the chiefly Circena family and was extended throughout the 16th century #CastleContent
