Wendorf Castle is an old manor house on an old knight's estate dating back to 1637. At that time, and until at least 1895/1896, it was owned by the von Schack family of counts. Ernst von Schack (1850–1896) is listed as the owner of the 1150.40 hectares (including 352 hectares of forest). The estate included a watermill and a brickworks. In January 1904, the estate passed to Ivan Carl Mackensen von Astfeld (1861–1944). He had the building completely rebuilt according to a design by the architect Paul Korff. The associated estate park, with oak trees up to 600 years old, was designed with the assistance of the landscape architect Reinhold Hoemann. Wendorf appears to have actually served as a hunting lodge. After World War II, it served as a youth hostel. After reunification, it was restored and converted into the Schlosshotel Wendorf, which opened in June 2009. The sign now (2025) reads "Kinderschloss" (Children's Castle). The park is rather poor and has certainly seen better days.

It used to be the officers' club of the NVA in the GDR. Then it was the seat of some administration in the park (I didn't remember it, unfortunately). Now, unfortunately, it's another ugly relic from times long past...

Unfortunately not open to the public, private
