Interesting castle complex, unfortunately somewhat wedged between the road.

Beautiful castle and newly renovated granary

Café Stine Rühner Straße 16, 100 meters from the castle

Today's palace square still gives an idea of the round layout of the former castle complex. Next to the Crooked House shines the impressive Renaissance castle. The castle is currently being renovated. The outer shell is finished, but the inside is still being built vigorously. It will be interesting to see with what concept the castle will be reopened.

A Renaissance castle was built in 1556 from a castle of Slavic origin, which also served as the seat of the Schwerin bishops. From 1760, this was partly used by the Friedrichs University of Bützow, which merged with the University of Rostock in 1789 and was thus dissolved in Bützow. Unfortunately, only a little of the ring-like castle complex has survived. Only the three-bay bishop's chapel, in which a local museum has now been set up, gives a hint of the past. In 1812, a central court moved here to investigate serious criminal offenses for all of Mecklenburg. After partial demolition and conversion from 1910 to the 1970s, it was mainly used for official housing, In the later GDR times, the building served as a cultural center, museum, library and music school. The castle has been renovated since 2011. In the course of the restoration, the library and the museum moved into the "crooked house".

Beautiful old trees in the castle park.

Quiet place with many interesting corners

Old Satow church from the 13th century, over the centuries more and more bricks crumbled and the church was sold for 425 thalers for demolition. Friedrich Franz II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, prevented further demolition. Today it is idyllically located in a small park by the lake.
