Mentioned as the former Streckewalde manor as early as 1500, it had no representative building until 1826.

After it was taken over by the Berlin merchant, Commercial Councillor Arthur Schmidt, died in 1932, further buildings were added. In 1910 the old houses were demolished and replaced by a castle-like villa in Art Nouveau style. It was later to be used as a summer retreat. In 1932, the daughter Wendula and her husband took over the property. In 1935 the building was renamed "Hohenwendel" after the owner. A stud farm was built below the castle, which was used for horse breeding during the First World War. After the Second World War, the owners of the castle were expropriated. In the early 1950s the building served as a party school, from 1957 as a pioneer leader school and from 1962 as the "House of the Young Pioneers". In the early 1970s the castle was used as a training center for the FDJ....

...from 1976 to 1990 the house was used as a holiday home for the Central Council of the FDJ.

The castle is currently being reconstructed, when it is finished it is a highlight for the region. The landscape is very beautiful.
