Schloss Lötze was not built as a castle, but as a brick factory. Bricks were burned for the region, but especially for the associated estate. The brick factory burned down in the 1920s and the owner took the opportunity to build a manor house. Until the fall of the wall, the castle was used as a children's holiday camp. The farm continued to flourish. The castle is now privately owned. The new owners renovated the castle and built an apartment complex with bungalows.

Anyone traveling through southern Brandenburg on two wheels shouldn't simply pass by Lötze Castle. If only because it's not really a castle at all—or let's just say, it wasn't born as one. Originally, there was a brickworks here, diligently firing bricks for the surrounding estate. And as luck would have it: When the fire couldn't be controlled and the brickworks burned down in the 1920s, the then lord of the manor seized the opportunity and had a manor house built. Following the motto: If it's going to be hot, do it with style.
