The ruins of the German Order Castle, built in the 14th century, can also be seen on the Durbe castle mound. The castle yard had once been surrounded by a high wall, the part of which is still standing on the south side. The castle served as an important object to guard the road from Prussia to Livonia and was destroyed 300 years ago. At the top of the mound, a viewing platform has been built allowing to enjoy the beautiful landscape of Durbe.
