Brodau Estate, located in Schashagen (East Holstein), has a long and eventful history. It was built around 1530 by the Rantzau family on a natural island in the lake. Originally, it was accessible via a drawbridge, which was later replaced by a dam. The estate is known for its manor house, its granary, and the surrounding nature, which invites walks and bike rides. Since 2000, the farm has been run by the Beitinger family, who practice sustainable agriculture and run a dairy farm with over 320 cows. Here are some more details about the history of Brodau Estate: Early History: The estate was built on a natural island in the lake, indicating a strategic location.

"Gut Brodau" refers to a historic estate and its associated agricultural holding near Neustadt in Holstein on the Baltic Sea coast. The estate is known for its gatehouse and was once a moated castle on a natural island in the lake. Today, the farm is run as a modern dairy farm, and part of the grounds houses a RuheForst (rest forest).

The castle houses Schleswig-Holstein's most important museums and is involved in a wide range of cultural events. In addition to changing exhibitions (including those by contemporary artists), theater performances in the courtyard and concerts are held at irregular intervals. The entire grounds and many of the interior rooms are open to visitors. Some of the castle's original furnishings have been preserved and can be viewed as part of the museum tours. Of particular note are the festive Hirschsaal (Stag Hall) from 1591 and the two-story Renaissance chapel. The castle is considered the most important secular building in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

At the beginning of 1945, more and more refugees from the eastern territories of the German Reich arrived in Schleswig, their number rising to almost 18,000 by the summer. Gottorf, like many of the country's residences, was used as a temporary reception camp, and several hundred refugees were housed in the castle.[31] In the post-war period, the entire complex was made available to the Schleswig-Holstein State Museums from 1948 onwards.

After the war of 1848, the Danes first set up a hospital and then a barracks in the castle,[22] in order to be able to operate more effectively against the insurgents in Schleswig-Holstein. The building was adapted to the new needs, and the interior lost much of its once significant furnishings. The former state rooms and ducal apartments were converted into dormitories and dining rooms. The outbuildings were demolished and replaced by extensive stables, and the defensive structures were demolished. Gottorf remained a barracks[22] when it fell to Prussia in 1867 as a result of the Second Schleswig War, and it retained this function until 1945.
