history

In the 14th century there was already a medieval castle of the von Kracht family on the site of the current building . The castle complex changed hands several times until it came into the possession of the Stilcke family in 1790. The classicist castle was built between 1807 and 1810 on behalf of the War and Domain Councilor Hermann Ludwig von Stilcke in place of the previous building that burned down in 1807. In 1835, after the death of her father, the castle came into the possession of the family of her husband, the Prussian Major General Carl Heinrich von Ostau , through daughter Adelgunde , as the only son of the family had died at the age of 31. The von Ostau family were expropriated during the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945. From 1948 to 1999 the castle belonged to the Dretzel community, which housed a kindergarten, school, youth club and dormitory there until the fall of the Berlin Wall . The lands belonging to the castle were divided among the new farmers. The building stood empty from 1990 to 1999 and was acquired by Hans-Fabian von Ostau in 1999. Today the building houses apartments and a wedding room, as well as rooms for celebrations.
