Fuchshöfen Castle
Fuchshöfen Castle was a castle in East Prussia near Königsberg (Prussia) . The place is now called Slavyanskoye .
history
Elector Friedrich III. Donated the place in 1692 to Paul von Fuchs, who had the manor house built around 1700 with a nine-axis facade. The building was two-story and covered with a hipped roof. The castle was praised for its calm, matter-of-fact "Prussian" simplicity.
Around 1755 a female Fideikommiß , a so-called Kunkellehen Fuchshöfen, was created exclusively for the female descendants of Charlotte von Schmettau. Gut Fuchshöfen was then passed on from mother to daughter for four generations. Around 1770 the palace was refurbished and included furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries, leather and canvas wallpapers and gifts from the Great Elector such as tapestries with hunting and drinking scenes.
The last German owners were von Bassewitz .
