Lützow Castle

Surrounded by wide moats, a romantic fairytale castle stands in Lützow, amidst a magnificent landscaped park. The magnificent neo-Gothic manor house, with two towers, battlements, decorative gables, and bay windows, was built by the von Bassewitz-Behr family in 1876.Since 1796, the estate was owned by the von Behr family, and by marriage in 1866 by the von Bassewitz-Behr family. The previous owners were the von Lützow family from the 14th to the 17th century.A wide staircase leads from the manor house into the extensive, well-kept park with its rich biodiversity and to the pond. In the park stands a neo-Gothic mausoleum, built before 1850, with a coat of arms above the entrance featuring a bear, the heraldic animal of the von Behr family.After 1945, the manor house was used as a vocational school for the German Reichsbahn (German State Railway) until 1991, after which it stood empty for several years.In 2005, Deutsche Bahn AG sold the building.The new owner renovated the manor house inside and out, and the park was also restored. Horse breeding is carried out on the former estate, and there is also a riding academy.gutshaeuser.de/de/guts_herrenhaeuser/gutshaeuser_l/herrenhaus_schloss_luetzow
