On the first floor of the castle, the art gallery attracts art-loving vacationers. Some rooms also serve as guest accommodations. In the courtyard, artists live and work in the @LabKalkhorst artists' colony, and visitors can observe them at work. Anyone who enjoys art will find their favorite spot here. The castle was built between 1853 and 1874 in the Neo-Gothic style, influenced by North German Brick Gothic architecture. Even as late as the early 2000s, renovations were carried out to adapt it to various needs. The castle is surrounded by a 13-hectare park designed in the style of an English landscape garden. In 2002, the International Garden Show named the castle park the second most beautiful park in Germany. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-schloss-kalkhorst

There's now a website with some useful and interesting information: https://www.schlosskalkhorst.com/ For example: "€3 for parking and maintenance" "Gate open = park open" 😅 If you read further, you'll find another piece of information that makes planning a bit more reliable from afar 👍🏻: "The park can be visited daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM."
