Kunrau Castle
Kunrau Castle is a castle in the village of Kunrau in Saxony-Anhalt .
history
The castle was built from 1859 to 1861 for Theodor Hermann Rimpau , the head of the renovation work in Drömling . The architect was a student of Karl Friedrich Schinkel . The architectural style was based on villas in Berlin-Tiergarten . In 1905 a son-in-law of Rimpaus, Wilhelm Beseler, took over the building. In 1909 it was rebuilt in the style of the Italian Renaissance . There was a winter garden in the lower part of the castle tower .
The palace's valuable furniture fell victim to looting and destruction after the end of the Second World War . The castle was used as refugee accommodation until 1949. The building was then converted into a cultural center. The four lounges on the first floor were converted into a large hall for this purpose.
Until 2009, the renovated castle was the seat of the Kunraus municipal administration and the Klötze administrative association . Today the castle houses the nature experience center with an eco school; The carrier is the Zweckverband Drömling. The tourist association Jeetze-Ohre-Drömling has its office and a small museum about the history of the Drömling. In the Green Hall ceremonies are held and the other rooms can be rented for events and private parties. The clubs from Kunrau and the surrounding area also use the castle for their events.
