Bredeneek Castle has retained its original character to this day. The rooms have barely changed overall. Join us for a brief journey through history.

The reason for the bargain The real estate agent indulged in descriptions of the beauty of Holstein Switzerland, but completely forgot to mention the state of preservation of the three-story mansion, which was the reason for the bargain price...

Rantzau Castle in the Plön district was advertised on the Immobilienwelt portal in spring 2016 under the headline "Monument seeks loving hands!" The purchase price: €400,000 plus broker's commission and taxes. At first, that sounded quite low for 30 rooms with approximately 1,200 square meters of living space and a 100,000 square meter property with a park and exotic trees.

The estate has been inhabited and cultivated for more than 800 years. The name Rantzau – or Rantzow – indicates an even earlier Wendish settlement in the area. The Rantzau family itself is not of Wendish origin, but the first knights to settle here took the name of their property, as was customary at the time. The first known family member is Johann von Rantzau, who was a squire in the service of Adolf IV and was knighted around 1235.[3] Johann von Rantzau was the founder of the various Rantzau lines that would shape the history of Schleswig-Holstein in the following centuries. The estate, which developed here around a small fortified castle with a manor house, remained in the family's possession for more than 500 years. During these centuries, Rantzau did not play a particularly significant role in the region's history and served as the seat of various branches of the growing Rantzau family.

Rantzau Castle in Rantzau in eastern Schleswig-Holstein is the namesake and former ancestral seat of the ancient noble Rantzau family. The castle was the center of a noble estate and, by this definition, is actually a manor house. However, due to its special significance in the region's history and its once rich furnishings, it has been referred to as a palace for some time. The house experienced a brief period of prosperity from the end of the 16th to the early 17th century and was one of the most mature works of the Renaissance in Schleswig-Holstein.[1][2] However, through various renovations, the complex was so extensively altered that its former appearance can only be guessed at.

Wonderful location on the lake. Lots of old forest and magnificent avenues.

The "Large Woman Seated in the Sun" is a bronze nude by Fritz During from 1959 on the lakeside of Plön Castle. "In addition to the sensual and relaxed depiction, the focus here is primarily on the formal structure—the beauty of the lines that the eye can follow. The body is slightly stylized and has highly smoothed surfaces." [from: Kunst-SH]
