Pritzwalk (German: [ˈpʁɪt͡sˌvalk] ⓘ) is a town in the district of Prignitz, in Brandenburg, Germany.

On 15 March 1945 many houses around the railway station were destroyed by a heavy explosion during an air raid when a munition train exploded after it had been hit by bombs.

Many houses built in Art Nouveau or Gründerzeit style as well as buildings dating from the fifties were renovated after the reunification of Germany, e.g. in Hagenstraße.

[6] The old town centre is surrounded by parks and meadows which are remnants of a medieval defense system of moats and mounds.

A part of the medieval wall, which was built in the 14th century, is left with a shottower in the northeast of the centre.
