Top 17 Castles around Altlandsberg

The estate, along with its imposing castle (built in 1909), is something truly special! While the mighty building, which could also be described as a manor house, still looks rather dilapidated – apparently, there's a lack of funds and the will to undertake a proper renovation – you can enjoy a hearty meal on the courtyard terrace and drink fresh beer from the estate's own brewery! At the rear, there's a perfectly idyllic landscaped park with a pond, but unfortunately, there's no direct access from the estate. You can't even get to the castle; it's cordoned off all around, and the high fence isn't exactly attractive, but rather repulsive. It spoils the otherwise beautiful view!

Interesting, somewhat run down roadside building.

Before 1900, the manor Börnicke had a size of 1105 ha. The extensive farm buildings, manor house, stables, barns and distillery are estimated to date from the years 1870/80. The manor house itself could perhaps have been built even earlier and has a classical plaster facade. The part used for agriculture is spatially slightly separated from the palace building. It consists of two four-sided courtyards of different sizes - a small courtyard directly on the street and a very large courtyard behind it. Both courtyards are paved with cobblestone. The stable buildings are made of field stones and bricks in the local style. Shortly before the great economic crisis of 1929, the area of the estate was 1032 ha according to the last published agricultural address book and was managed by the administrator F. W. Schmidt. The largest source of income was dairy farming. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_B%C3%B6rnicke

The manor house with its battlements on the walls was built between 1897 and 1900, was badly hit in the Second World War, and was used, among other things, for the primary school during the GDR era. Today Brandenburg's red eagle flies again on the castle tower, now the "Hotel Schloss Reichenow with restaurant" is here.

The Biesdorf Palace and Palace Park in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district are among the most important architectural monuments of the 19th century in Berlin and are a popular destination in the east of the city. You can visit the castle, there are always exhibitions, and there is also a nice café with a good selection of cakes.

Prötzel Palace was built in the Baroque style between 1712 and 1717 according to plans by Andreas Schlueter for Paul Anton von Kameke. In 1770 an English-style landscape park was created. Around 1800, Prötzel came into the possession of the Freiherren von Eckardstein. After the von Eckardstein family fled in 1945, resettlers who could barely make ends meet were quartered in the castle. Later, the LPG and the municipality used the castle as a school, gymnasium and warehouse, among other things. After reunification in 1990, the Prötzel art association used the building for its annual exhibitions. Efforts to restore the building, which was in dire need of refurbishment, and to find a new permanent use for it, failed. In 2007, the castle was acquired by the Armenian architect and developer Aram Ekavyan, who, together with his brother Vagram Ekavyan, planned a renovation of the castle and subsequent use as a luxury hotel. Since about this time there have also been discussions about the accessibility of the lake and the castle park for the public. In the meantime, this culminated in the statement by the lord of the castle that he only wanted to secure his construction site with the erected fences and prevent walkers from meeting his woolly pigs. According to the mayor's statement a long time ago, the lake route is still open to everyone (there used to be a circular lake route, by the way).

Beautiful farm worth seeing. It's just a pity that the castle is rotting away like this.

Unfortunately, the castle no longer exists. A small model is on the site. The castle park has been partially restored.
