Τα 6 καλύτερα κάστρα Gartz (Oder)

The castle park is surrounded by a high wall and is off-limits. It's a bit disappointing that you can only see the castle from one side.

First mentioned as a castle at the end of the 12th century, Penkun Castle is today one of the last remaining castles of the Pomeranian Dukes. The castle association runs a border and customs museum in the former administrator's house, and there is a small exhibition on the judicial system in Pomerania in the castle cellar.

Wartin Castle was built in 1695 under Captain Christoph von der Osten as the manor house of the Wartin manor. It was rebuilt and renovated after 1991 by the "European Academy" association. Today it is used by this association and is a meeting place for artists and scientists from all over the world. Opposite the castle there is a riding stable.

Wartin Palace was built in 1695 under Captain Christoph von der Osten as a manor house for the Wartin manor. The baroque estate complex consists of a castle and surrounding manor buildings, including: former palace warehouse and schnapps distillery, currently housing a cultural barn. There was also a forge, stables and numerous barns. Currently, most of the buildings have been renovated and are used as accommodation facilities and for organizing events such as weddings, family celebrations and corporate events. An associated park and garden complete the complex and are surrounded by a wall of natural stone and brick up to five meters high. This makes the castle park one of the few preserved buildings in northern Brandenburg with a completely brick wall. In terms of cultural history, it is the equivalent of the leading landscape parks of Lenné. An old arched door leads from the park to a beautiful church from the 13th century. The palace is accessible from the outside.

Picturesquely situated on the castle hill, the residence in Penkun dominates the city. In addition to the castle dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, the entire complex of buildings includes relics of a medieval stronghold, a gatehouse from 1486, a gate from 1614, the manager's house from the 18th century and a farm building built in the 19th century.

The first mention of the castle in Widuchowa (Fiddichow) dates back to 1159. In 1700, the then owners of the town - the Wulffs, built a new defensive castle, but it was destroyed already in 1730. Fragments of the lower parts of the castle, which serve as retaining walls, have survived to this day. The northern fragment is on private property, and the western one strengthens the Oder escarpment and is accessible to everyone. A transport company operates in the former courtyard.

A perfectly built bike path is a measure of economic development, then there might even be a coffee in Penkun. The mayor should think about that!
