The romantic park element was built around 1900 in the form of an artificial ruin. In addition to a concrete cap ceiling, the building consists of both field stones and historical sandstone elements. Some of these come from demolished parts of old buildings such as the Berlin Art Academy and Nuremberg's Sebalduskirche. The park-side entrance stone of the Rosenburg bears the inscription, based on the so-called bridal gate of the Sebalduskirche: "The bridal gate greets you solemnly". The castle served as a playhouse for the children of the estate. The dainty building had doors and windows that could be locked and furnished in a way that was suitable for children. Unfortunately nothing of the interior has survived. The Spielburg probably owes its name to the once lush rose plantations on the park-side, terraced slope. Perhaps also their builder, Prince Philipp von Eulenburg, the author of the “Rose Songs” and his enthusiasm for roses. More information at: https://www.dkb-stiftung.de/die-rosenburg/

This is the area around Sommerswalde Castle and not a Lost Place, even if it makes the impression at first glance. The castle itself is the Tharpaland Kadampa Meditation Center: A center for meditation and modern Buddhism.

The monastery was probably founded around 1230 by the Counts of Arnstein, who also called themselves Counts of Lindow. In 1542 the Reformation was introduced and the monastery was converted into a Protestant convent for women. It was one of the richest monasteries in the Mark until 1638, when it was destroyed by imperial troops along with its valuable library and documents.

In his novel "Der Stechlin" Fontane described the monastery of Lindow and its historic cemetery as Kloster Wutz. “Lindow is as lovely as its name. It grows between three lakes and old linden trees take it under their shade,” is how Fontane expresses his feelings about the idyllic location that he has visited several times.

Nice café and a great castle garden

You should take your time for the monastery ruins and the surrounding area. The garden of the book with its diverse plants is worth exploring. The atmosphere of the cemetery with the many stone and iron crosses, as well as the sarcophagi, has its own charm. Some of the sarcophagi are richly decorated, a closer look is worthwhile. Recommendation: put your ear to it....👻....

Today the castle and the park is a popular place for conferences, wedding celebrations and you can also book beautiful rooms for a short break here. The restaurant is only open to house guests, but you can strengthen yourself and take a short break in the charming courtyard café.

Fontane liked to stay at Schloss & Gut Liebenberg and even dedicated a chapter to Liebenberg in his work "Wandering through the Mark Brandenburg - Five Castles".
