This is where Theodor Fontane came from the novel character “Effi Briest”. The real model, after which he created them, was born in Zerben Castle. Guided tours can also be obtained there by arrangement.

Zerben Castle, also called Plothosches Schloss, is a manor house in Zerben in Saxony-Anhalt.
In 1847 a simple half-timbered house was converted into a palace complex following the characteristics of the Weser Renaissance. The manor owner Wolfgang von Plotho, inspired by the Leitzkau palace complex, had a three-wing ensemble built at great expense between 1874 and 1879. The one-storey complex, whose roof has typical Renaissance gables, is located on the edge of a park facing the Elbe and is therefore easily recognizable from the Elbe dike across the floodplain meadows.

In 1948 parts of the palace were demolished by order of the Soviet military administration. After the municipality of Zerben became the owner in 1996, it was listed as a monument in 1998. Since 1999 efforts have been made to gradually return the property to its original form. The renovation was successfully completed in July 2011.

built between 1874 and 1879 by the manor owner Wolfgang von Plotho. Elisabeth Freiin von Plotho was born here in 1853, who later became the real model for Fontane's fictional character Effi Briest as Elisabeth von Ardenne.
