Dammsmühle Castle is an empty baroque palace right on the mill pond. Although a renovation would certainly not be a bad idea, it still exudes an incomparable charm. The list of former residents ranges from Napoleon, the SS to the Red Army. The location in the middle of three lakes is also predestined to be explored and is highly recommended - not least because of its proximity to Berlin.

At the site of today's Dammsmühle Palace, there was already a mill in the 16th century, acquired in 1755 by the Berlin leather manufacturer Peter Friedrich Damm. He erected the building of the Dammsmühle Palace as a two-storey palace.
After the end of the war in 1945, the castle was occupied by the Red Army. In 1959 the East German Stasi took over the house and used it as a hunting lodge until 1989. After reunification, the castle served as a hotel for a short time.
Unfortunately, today it is a ruin with an uncertain future

@Frank from Hönow is probably right. I found the following article about this: maz-online.de/Lokales/Oberhavel/Muehlenbecker-Land/Schloss-Dammsmuehle-Viel-Zusracht-fuer-Restaurant-und-Hotelprojekt. Since I like to do a lost place tour, I'm a little bit divided. But all that stops the decay is ok
