Standing on the Apothekerberg, the castle has an eventful history.

Originally built in 1798/99 by David Gilly as a classicist villa in Prussian rural architecture and as a retirement home for Queen Friederike Luise, Walther Rathenau woke it from its deep sleep in 1909. Completely plundered in 1945, the castle survived the GDR as the Pushkin House (named after the poet Pushkin) and after the fall of the Berlin Wall became a museum and Rathenau memorial site.

A beautiful hilly castle park, along with a theater pavilion (tea house), fountains and many stairs, surrounds the castle.

Once built as the summer residence of the Prussian Queen Friederike Luise, it was owned by Walter Rathenau from 1909. It has been in the possession of the Bad Freienwalde district since 1991 (in the meantime managed by a Kultur GmbH) and is to be sold. However, despite a Europe-wide tender, no buyer has yet been found.
