Wrangelsburg Castle is a manor house in Wrangelsburg in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district. It was built in 1880 and has been privately owned since 2017.

Its name probably comes from the time when its water was still used to brew beer in the Eldena monastery complex

with Gothic parts from the 13th and 14th centuries and a neo-Gothic tower from the 19th century. There is a pilgrim stamp here.

has existed since 1524. Between 1634 and 1855 it was a paper mill for the University of Greifswald, then a flour mill until 1952. Since 2010, a local investor has renovated the listed building and expanded it into a restaurant with a technical museum (grain mill).

The current castle was built in 1878. The previous building was converted into a baroque castle in 1652 by Carl Gustav Wrangel, the Swedish general governor of Pomerania. In 1945 it was expropriated and occupied by the Soviet military administration. Today it is in private hands.

The remains of the once important monastery are embedded in a park with old trees, including 180-year-old oaks. The main accent of the ruins is the imposing west façade of the former monastery church with the high pointed arch window opening. Caspar David Friedrich painted many pictures of the ruins and thereby sparked a new appreciation, which enabled the complex to be preserved and secured in 1830.

Free of charge and a good starting point for visiting the Eldena monastery ruins.
