Schönhagen Castle

The building from 1711, which is now a listed building, was once a manor. It is currently used as a rehabilitation clinic, but the site is freely accessible. So nothing stands in the way of a walk to the magnificent castle.

Schönhagen was first mentioned in 1652. The Schönhagen estate, which was actually built in 1711, was separated from the Olpenis estate.
In 1712 Schönhagen belonged to Colonel Joachim Dietrich von Dewitz. Then it came into the hands of changing owners.
In 1840 the estate had a size of almost 2,500 acres and had 64 families with a total of 310 inhabitants.
In 1882 Hermann Jauch (1858-1916) acquired the Schönhagen and Schwonendahl estates. He brought the estate to its largest extension of 2,800 acres through numerous acquisitions. In 1889 he had the manor house built on Schönhagen, which is now called Schönhagen Castle and is the symbol of the place.
In 1928, the Society for the Promotion of the Hebbel School of the Kiel High School acquired the building. It opened in 1929 as a school camp.
In the 1970s it was used as a hotel and educational institution. The Dorint-Aparthotel Schönhagen was opened in 1981.
Today it is a rehabilitation center of the Helios clinic.

Schönhagen Castle is the listed central building of the former manor and current Baltic Sea resort of Schönhagen, which belongs to the municipality of Brodersby. It lies behind the characteristic cliffs of Schönhagen on the Baltic Sea.Schönhagen was first mentioned in 1652 and goes back to a farm built in 1604 near the village of Höxmark (Danish: Høgsmark). The place name goes back to the root word Hagen for enclosure, enclosed clearing and means something like To the beautiful Hagen or garden.In 1882, Hermann Jauch (1858–1916) acquired the Schönhagen and Schwonendahl estates.Jauch was a wealthy scion of the Hamburg upper-class Jauch family, son of the Hamburg benefactor Auguste Jauch. He brought the estate to its greatest extent of 2,800 acres through numerous purchases. In 1889 he had the manor house built on Schönhagen, which is now known as Schönhagen Castle and is the town's landmark. His son Erich, from his marriage to Agnes von Witzleben from Hude (Oldenburg), took over the estate after his father's death and had the gatehouse built in 1913 by the architect Ernst Prinz (1878–1974)[9]. In the second half of the 1920s, Erich Jauch sold the estate, which formed an estate district until 1928.In 1928, the Society for the Promotion of the Hebbel School of the Kiel Hebbel School Gymnasium acquired the building. It was opened as a school camp in 1929.In the 1970s it was used as a hotel and international educational center.In 1981 the Dorint Aparthotel Schönhagen was opened.
