The Archsum Castle was destroyed, and the Rantum Castle was buried under the dunes. You can visit it anytime, 8 hours a day, have a picnic there, or lie on top at night and gaze at the stars. Although the Tinnum Castle is only 1 meters high, you still have a beautiful view of the surrounding area from the top. Excavations have unearthed ceramic pieces dating to the XNUMXst century AD, indicating a similar age to the Tinnum Castle. The rampart served various functions. It was probably originally a Germanic place of worship, which later provided the islanders with protection from the Vikings.
