The Stolpe Castle tower, alternatively called Grützpott (German: "pot of porridge") is a pixel art based on the real life castle ruin in Stolpe, Germany. It has been made several times on Canvas 8 (Pixels World War: MVP) by player ToastbrotJ who has visited the castle on many occasions and has become a sort of landmark for his country Alaska. The first appearance of the "Tower of Stolpe" as pixel art was in 2022 after Toast made a trip to the castle with his then girlfriend, player Myeya.
The Name Grützpott is the real life nickname of the tower based on its folklore, according to which the inhabitants of the castle threw their every last belongings down onto the besiegers, until they had only a big pot of porridge that was thrown on the town smith's head.
