Bützow, in the homeland of the Obotrites, is a small town with a great past. It was first mentioned in a document in 1229 and was the capital of the diocese of Schwerin for centuries. Bützow was once the seat of a bishop, a university town and the seat of the criminal court. Wilhelm Raabe created a lasting literary monument to the town with his novella "The Geese of Bützow", based on the goose war fought between the magistrate and the townspeople. The ensemble of the market square with the Tudor-style town hall built in 1849 and the 13th century collegiate church, which was declared a monument of national importance in 2007, is of cultural and historical interest. In the history-steeped Krumme Haus, visitors encounter history in stories, letters and figures, facts and myths, united as a friendly combination of the local history museum, the library and the documentation on the political abuse of the penal system in Bützow. Locals and visitors alike are attracted to the leisure and family park in a beautiful park area with the Bützow miniature town, a cypress labyrinth and a great children's playground. 145 reconstructed buildings, ramparts, streets and bodies of water show the old town of Bützow in the years between 1850 and 1900.

Bützow Castle
📍 Bützow
Bützow Castle once served as the seat of a bishop. In 1239, the bishops of Schwerin built a castle, which was converted into a Renaissance palace in the mid-16th century under Duke Ulrich. Unfortunately, very little of the ring-shaped castle complex remains. Only the three-bay bishop's chapel, which now houses a museum of local history, gives an idea of the past. Since its reconstruction in 1910/1911, the original Renaissance castle has been a simple, three-storey plaster building with a high gabled roof. The foundation walls date back to the 13th or 14th century. During the GDR era, the building served as a cultural center and later housed a library and museum. For some years now, the castle has been undergoing renovation in order to use it as a company headquarters with offices and company apartments.
