Arendsee Castle
The Arendsee Castle is a 1843 ready-built mansion of Count Albert von Schlippenbach in northern Brandenburg . At the time of the German Democratic Republic , the building was used as a school; Today it is used privately by the owners from Berlin and rented out as a location for company parties, retreats, weddings and film productions.
history
The Schlippenbach family has had their seat on the Schönermark since the end of the 17th century . The property was from Carl Friedrich von Schlippenbach from Elector Friedrich III. who had previously bought the Stepnitz office in Pomerania , which was owned by Friedrich .
The castle was built from 1839 to 1843 according to a design by the secret court building officer Friedrich August Stüler . The building was built under Count Albert von Schlippenbach and experienced its heyday with the commitment of numerous renowned artists of the time. However, there are indications that the palace construction was terminated prematurely due to lack of money.
Between 1843 and 1945 the estate was the Schlippenbach family's country estate. At the end of the Second World War , however, the family had to flee westwards from the approaching Red Army. As a result, the castle was expropriated. After the World War, the building housed homeless people; at the time of the German Democratic Republic it served as a school. School operations continued until 2004. The castle has been owned by the Kleissl family since 2007. The owner Hans Kleissl had the estate restored since the purchase.
The castle has been in new ownership since 2018.
description
Arendsee Castle was built on a hill in the Prenzlau district of the Uckermark hills, a good 18 kilometers from the district town of Prenzlau and about 110 kilometers from Berlin . In the past, the castle was fortified with a wall and moat. It was built on the edge of a small lake, which was also bordered by the farmyard. On the other side were stable and gardening buildings. Today the castle is surrounded by pine forests and numerous forest lakes. A park was created on the west side, named after the Prussian horticultural artist Peter Joseph Lenné , who himself participated in the design. The castle was of bright red Rohziegeln built.
So that the building could be supplied with water, a basin was built on the top of a heaped hill , from which the water flowed into the lower kitchen of the castle. A pump house, which had to be driven mechanically, was built to fill the basin.
Although it is assumed that a pointed roof was intended for the castle, a flat, inwardly sloping roof with a rain gutter was created. Faded views reveal fragments that a winter garden was also planned as an extension of the longitudinal axis of the southern tower. It is believed that neither the complex roof structure nor the winter garden could be built due to a lack of money.
Shortly after the Second World War, the 30-meter-high tower was demolished and served as a material dispenser for single-family houses in Arendsee. During the GDR era, concrete houses were added to the castle.
