Isenschnibbe Castle, located on the northeastern edge of Gardelegen, looks back on a turbulent history. Originally founded in the 10th century as a state castle, it was owned by the von Alvensleben family from 1378 to 1857. In 1905, the Bloch von Blottnitz family acquired the property; among other things, they donated a town hall door in Gardelegen, which can still be seen today. In 1939, the castle passed into the possession of the Prince of Lippe, who never personally visited it. After the Second World War, the castle changed hands several times and gradually fell into disrepair. The castle is currently privately owned, and little progress has been made in its renovation.
