Castles are always interesting and worth a hike.

Very picturesque climb, worth it!

The former mansion Kaltenhausen - "Schloss Zinna" is on the B101 east towards Jüterbog, the manor is on the opposite side of the street. The area originally belonged to the possessions of the Cistercian monastery of Zinna. As early as 1480, the farmyard of the monastery with a sheep farm in Kaltenhausen was mentioned for the first time. After the monastery was dissolved in 1553, the office of Zinna was founded with the associated Vorwerk/Gut Kaltenhausen, which was managed by tenants. In 1832 the Bohnstedt family purchased the estate and converted it into a manor. Between 1902 and 1904, Paul Bohnstedt had a representative manor house built in neo-baroque style by the Berlin architects Wilhelm Albert Cremer and Richard Wolffenstein. After the Second World War and the expropriation, the former manor house saw various users: the Soviet military administration, the German seed company, the state-owned estate/VEG Kaltenhausen (school and apprentice hostel). Later, until 2002, the elementary school and the polytechnic high school were housed here. After it had been vacant, the Gröhn family acquired the property in 2004, which very successfully renovated and restored it and, in addition to private use, developed it into a place of encounter and culture. The listed building and the park, in which Paul von Bohnstedt's grave is also located, could be visited in 2019 on Open Monument Day and attracted a large number of interested visitors.

During the GDR era, the building was used as a children's home and a home for mothers and babies until 1991. After reunification, the castle was privatized and used as a hotel after 2001 and as a registry office until 2016 (?). The continuing vacancy of the fairytale castle Kropstädt is sad to see and probably no happy ending in sight. The castle is surrounded by a ten-hectare landscape park, which was probably created in 1850 and today has a valuable stock of trees.

Very slippery when wet.

Unfortunately, Kropstädt Castle can no longer be reached. All access roads are either broken or blocked. Since the chateau was sold to its new owner, it has been unused, unheated and left to its own devices. That was sad to see. The park all around is fantastically beautiful and makes up for this disappointment.

In the rustic ambience of the castle's knight's hall, minstrels play with wit and charm at the knight's meal. Well suited for families or company celebrations, of course you can also book this individually.
