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.

Güstrow Castle

📍 Güstrow

On the edge of Güstrow's old town, one of the most important Renaissance castles in northern Europe surprises visitors with its southern charm. Magnificent stucco ceilings from the time of its construction have been preserved. The castle is currently undergoing extensive renovation work. The castle museum is therefore not open to the public. The historic residential town of Güstrow boasts one of the most important castles of the late Renaissance. The original medieval princely castle was destroyed by fire in 1557, but just one year later Duke Ulrich of Mecklenburg initiated a comprehensive reconstruction and rebuilding of his residence. Additional extensions and alterations planned by architects of different origins resulted in a synthesis of Italian, French, Dutch and German architectural ideas - unique for the region and the time! The castle complex was last extended under Duke Gustav Adolph, who had the gatehouse and castle bridge built in 1670. After the Güstrow ducal line died out at the end of the 17th century and the town became the secondary residence of the dukes of Schwerin, the castle fell on hard times and slowly fell into disrepair. Changing uses followed until a large-scale restoration in 1963 restored the interior to its former glory, allowing it to be used as a museum from 1972. The 16th-century pleasure garden, which was painstakingly restored between 2011 and 2014, is well worth a visit. Since then, fragrant flowers and the enchanted pergola have invited visitors to take relaxing strolls against the impressive backdrop of the palace. Restoration work The castle is currently being extensively renovated and repaired. The collections and the interior of the castle are not open to the public during the construction work. The garden The reconstructed garden is open to the public and invites visitors to stroll and linger with its lavender beds, hornbeam arbors and moat.

Kaeselow Castle

📍 Lützow

The historic manor house "Schloss Kaeselow" is located 20 km west of Schwerin, nestled in a large property with park and garden. The representative manor house in the Tudor Gothic style was built in 1860 by Privy Councillor Heinrich von Brock. The von Oertzen family owned the ensemble from 1878 and the von Both family owned the house from 1901 to 1945. It still shines today without any major external changes. In the surrounding park, accessible from a flight of steps via the conservatory, there are free-roaming chickens and geese as well as old trees. The representative castle hall was the official branch of the registry office. The house and grounds have been cared for by the Gerd-Rainer Hienstorfer family since 1992. New owners, Claudia Steinlechner and Vincent Grundke, took over the property some time ago. They are working on the renovation of the house with great personal commitment. Vacation apartments and event rooms are to be created. The owners live here privately.

Ludwigslust Castle

📍 Ludwigslust

Former residential palace and center of the late Baroque town complex. Halls with 18th century art as a museum. Spacious palace park with baroque water features and picnic areas. Open-air event in August: small festival in the large park. Ludwigslust Palace welcomes its guests with the sound of the cascades. The late Baroque palace with its high-quality sandstone façade, which was built between 1772 and 1776 under the direction of Duke Friedrich von Mecklenburg-Schwerin, rises up in the middle of an extensive park. Where his father Christian Ludwig's small hunting lodge had previously stood, he had his own stately dream realized. One highlight is the Golden Hall. Here, five large crystal chandeliers impressively illuminate the gilded papier-mâché decorations on the walls, ceilings, mirrors and monumental columns. The elaborately crafted parquet floor once formed the stage for lavish balls and concerts. The Golden Hall has been undergoing restoration since September 2020. Filigree decorative elements also adorn the ducal apartments in the east wing. In the restored rooms with their high-quality marquetry floors, damask wall coverings, precious wallpaper and historical furniture, the courtly life of the late 18th century can once again be experienced. The artistically valuable, printed paper wallpapers in the former guest apartments, which have been preserved in their original state and left for display alongside the reconstruction, are well worth seeing. Since its restoration, the picture gallery at the end of the Parade Apartment can once again be experienced in its original dimensions. A wealth of works by Ludwigslust court artists and extraordinary architectural models made of cork can be admired here. The windows offer stunning views of the large palace park and the court church. The baroque garden was redesigned in the mid-19th century by the garden architect Peter Joseph Lenné in a landscaped style. A stroll along the Baroque avenues, past water features and canals, reveals ever new visual axes between architecture and nature, just waiting to be discovered. *The park is temporarily closed due to a tree fall. The main axis of the park will be reopened to the public at the end of November. By then, the tree maintenance work along Hofdamenallee and the lawn parterre will have been completed to such an extent that this area will be safe for traffic again. The palace museum, café and lawn parterre will be accessible.

Penkun Castle

📍 Penkun

First mentioned as a castle at the end of the 12th century, Penkun Castle is now one of the last surviving castles of the Pomeranian dukes. The castle association runs a border and customs museum in the former caretaker's house and there is a small exhibition on the Pomeranian court system in the castle cellar. Today's Penkun Castle was first mentioned as a castle on this site around 1190 and was extended as a border castle by the Pomeranian dukes in the 13th century. The castle was built from 1484 to 1486, incorporating this predecessor building. It owes its current appearance in the Renaissance style to a renovation between 1580 and 1590, presumably under the direction of Thaddäus Paglion. After the expropriation of the von der Osten family following the Second World War, a school with a boarding school and an agricultural training center were housed in the castle. Due to a lack of maintenance, the castle was dilapidated at the end of the 1980s. Thanks to dedicated citizens, the municipality of Penkun and from 1991-2001 with the help of the German Foundation for Monument Protection, the castle was saved from decay and restored. Many permanent exhibitions can be seen in individual rooms, but changing works are also exhibited from time to time. The grounds include an extensive castle park, former stables and the gatekeeper's building, which is currently also used as a museum.

Rheinsberg Castle

📍 Rheinsberg

Rheinsberg Castle, picturesquely situated on Lake Grienericksee, allows us to immerse ourselves in the 18th century. Crown Prince Friedrich, later King Friedrich II and his brother Prince Heinrich developed this castle into a place that has lost none of its magic to this day. Just under 100 km from the center of Berlin in northern Brandenburg, Rheinsberg Castle is located in the picturesque village of the same name on the shores of Lake Grienericksee. Originally built in the 16th century, the moated castle first belonged to Crown Prince Friedrich, who left it to his brother Prince Heinrich after his accession to the throne. The castle was a place of work with an experimental character for renowned architects such as Johann Gottfried Kemmeter, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, Georg Friedrich von Boumann and Carl Gotthard Langhans, as well as artists such as Antoine Pesne. Music and theater attracted numerous artists to the Musenhof Rheinsberg and filled it with cultural life. Enthusiasm for this gem continued centuries later, with Theodor Fontane and Kurt Tucholsky paying tribute to the magic of the place in their works.

Broock Castle and Estate

📍 Alt Tellin

Broock Castle, once the social hub of the region and the largest private stud farm in Western Pomerania, will be developed into a supra-regional conference and cultural center in the coming years. Since May 2023, our guests have been catered for in the new village store with café-bistro and beer garden. Broock Castle was built for Major General Christan Bogislaw von Linden as a grand, late baroque manor house in 1770-77. The heir, Carl von Gentzkow, established horse breeding at the beginning of the 19th century, which developed into the largest private stud farm in Western Pomerania under his successors, the Barons von Seckendorff, and existed until 1945. In 1841-43, Friedrich August Stüler, the "master builder to the King of Prussia", was commissioned to rebuild the castle in the so-called "Castle Gothic" style. At the same time, the celebrated garden artist Peter Joseph Lenné provided the plans for the transformation of the park into an English landscape garden. In the 19th century, Broock was the social center and meeting place for the nobility of the entire region. Balls and elegant hunting parties took turns. In 1945, the estate was expropriated, refugee families were accommodated in the castle and a supermarket, kindergarten, school and municipal office were set up. In 1974, the municipality sold the castle to VEB Kranbau Eberswalde. Plans to set up a vacation home for employees never came to fruition. In 2017, after 43 years of looting and decay, Schloss Broock GmbH & Co. KG became the owner of the complex and revived the idyllic location in the beautiful Tollensetal valley. With the support of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Federal Republic of Germany - which classifies Broock as a monument of special national importance - and the German Foundation for Monument Protection, work began in 2018 on the emergency restoration of the castle ruins. In the coming years, a supra-regional cultural and conference center will be built in Broock. Concerts, festivals and private events are already taking place in the historic riding hall, which also hosts the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival. After decades without a shop or restaurant in Broock, our village store with café-bistro, beer garden and regional products was opened on the edge of the estate in May 2023 and is very popular with our guests.

Stavenhagen Castle and Castle Park

📍 Stavenhagen

Stavenhagen Castle in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was built in 1740 in the Baroque style on the ruins of a burnt-down castle. It was never intended as a dowager's residence, but was used as a district court, school and later as an administrative building. Today it houses the registry office and the municipal administration and is situated in a restored castle park. The current building stands on the foundations of an older castle complex and was originally intended as a residence for a dowager duke - a plan that was never realized. Instead, the castle developed into a central administrative location over the centuries. It served as an official residence and later as a school and accommodation for refugees after the Second World War. A striking stair tower was added in 1890 and still characterizes the silhouette of the building today. After reunification, the castle was extensively renovated and has been used by the town of Stavenhagen ever since. Today it houses the town council and the registry office. The adjoining castle park with its old trees and restored wall was redesigned between 2001 and 2006 and invites visitors to linger. Stavenhagen Castle combines historical substance with modern use - a lively place with history.

Pansevitz castle ruins and park

📍 Pansevitz

Built in the 16th century and owned by the family of Baron von Krassow ever since, the estate, originally built in the Renaissance style, was rebuilt and extended in the Neo-Renaissance style around 1860. In the 19th century, the estate came into the possession of the Princes of Inn- und Knyphausen. After the expropriation in 1945, the castle was occupied by several families. Due to inadequate maintenance, the estate became increasingly dilapidated and was used as a quarry after the last residents moved out. The beginnings of the park date back to the 17th century. The baroque garden was laid out around the castle and gradually expanded. In the 19th century, it was transformed into an English-style landscape garden covering around 40 hectares. Important elements of the park include the Wundersee lake with the island of love and the exotic tree species planted in the later 19th century, most of which are still present. v.

Smugglers' barge in Marlow

Smuggling on the Old Salt Road "There was always something going on at the border. There were people on both sides who wanted to buy up goods as cheaply as possible by bypassing customs. The Recknitz and Trebel rivers formed the customs and national borders between Old Mecklenburg and Swedish Western Pomerania. ... A lot of salt was smuggled along the border, which was strictly forbidden. Koch owned a barge, similar to a baking trough. It was so big that it could carry three men and two hundredweights of salt. The barge was hidden in the reeds. Koch used it to ferry the two smugglers across the water. When they reached the other side, they each earned a thaler. ... When Mecklenburg joined the customs union in 1868, the incentive to smuggle goods disappeared." from "Smuggling on the Sülze border" by Ernst Garduhn, published in the commemorative publication "700 years of Bad Sülze" Did you know that ... ... you can smuggle again today - without any danger? The eight vendors on the map opposite will tell you what they still have in common with salt. You will receive smuggled goods for your stop or purchase, which you can exchange for new goods at the next station. At the end, you will have a bag full of high-quality souvenirs! More info

Schulkamp plant Teterow

There were fields and gardens on the site of today's Schulkamp until the 19th century. They belonged to the endowment of the Fiedler School Foundation (Felix Fiedler 1661-1705 pastor in Teterow) and were leased to the town. The rent was used to support poor pupils. The school buildings on Schulkamp were built at the end of the 19th century, apart from an extension. Today, the elementary school of the town of Teterow is housed in two buildings. The former "Clock School" is used for artistic purposes and is also known as the "House of Muses". The Teterow branch of the Rostock district music school can be found here. There is also a theater hall and a creative workshop. The "gray" school is a branch of the Teterow City Museum and currently serves as a warehouse.
