Penzlin Castle - Witch Museum

Cultural history museum for everyday magic and witch hunts in Mecklenburg The small town of Penzlin is located in a scenic part of the Mecklenburg Lake District.

The most important sight in Penzlin is the "Old Castle" from the 16th century. Since 1994 it has been home to the specialist museum for "Magic and Witch Hunts in Mecklenburg". Expert guides provide information about the castle's history and bring the witch hunts back to life on a tour of the torture chamber and the unique witch dungeons. Also worth seeing are the black kitchen with its 12-metre-high chimney and the knights' hall, which is now used as a registry office. A witches' playground awaits young visitors and the castle restaurant invites you to linger. The castle courtyard with its witches' benches and herb garden offers visitors a special ambience. Visible from afar, the 13th century St. Marien church towers like a hen over the dreamy little town. Every year, Walpurgis Night takes place on April 30 and the castle festival always takes place on the penultimate weekend in August, attracting thousands of visitors.
