Top 3 Castles around Breesen

Since 2016? construction freeze. But the building is dry and can thus continue to be used. It looks good from a distance.

The three-part Slavic hillfort offers several tables and seating areas in its center for visitors to linger.

The Wrodow estate existed as early as the 16th century and was for a long time a subsidiary estate without its own manor house. At the beginning of the 16th century, it belonged to the von Maltzahn family. After the Thirty Years' War, it was pledged to Colonel Joachim Engel in 1656. In the following centuries, ownership changed hands frequently, including families such as von Kamptz (from 1707), von Engel, and von Peccatel. In the 18th century, the core of the present building was constructed: a nine-bay central section, which was later expanded. Today, Wrodow Castle is a vibrant cultural monument in the idyllic Mecklenburg countryside, combining art, history, and community.

In 1908, Dr. Adolf von Buenger acquired the estate. Between 1905 and 1914, he had almost the entire village demolished, subsequently rebuilding the manor house, the estate, and the village. The manor house is a two-story, plastered building with a colonnade and a gazebo, built on a fieldstone base. The entrance hall, with its original wood paneling, extends over two floors, and a wide staircase leads to a gallery. Between 1945 and 1990, the manor house was used as a training center by the Neubrandenburg District Cultural Academy, after which it stood empty for many years. The manor house is privately owned. Adjacent to the stately home is a small park with a meadow as its centerpiece. The entire estate, including the inspector's house, stables, and barns, is truly worth seeing, but is in a state of disrepair.

Can only be admired as a "spectator".

In 1777, Adam von Blücher had the castle built. The magnificent three-axis central projections extend over two floors and end with a high lunette gable, each of which has a coat of arms cartouche. The von Blücher and von Maltzahn families took turns in owning Gützkow. Inside there is a very beautiful, restored, two-wing staircase with restored Rococo decoration on the ceilings. Behind the house is a baroque garden. After a period of vacancy, Helmuth von Maltzahn, a descendant of the former lord of the castle, is now the owner. He wants to have the entire complex and the five-hectare park restored to its original state. The former cowshed was turned into a concert hall. On August 18, 2001, the first concert took place in the castle park as part of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival. Avenues, ponds and old fieldstone walls have already been renovated.

With the Reformation and the secularization of the monasteries in 1552, the property fell to the Dukes of Mecklenburg, who passed the monastery villages in the Penzlin area on as a loan to their vassal Maltzahn. After the Thirty Years' War, Wrodow was pledged to Colonel Joachim Engel in 1656, who had made his fortune as a leading military officer in the war. Numerous legal and violent disputes between the following tenants and owners shaped Wrodow for almost one hundred and fifty years. In 1717, the Barner family owned the estate, and in 1751 it went to Gotthard von Pickatel (Peccatel)..... (Source: www.gutshaeuser.de)
