The castle in its current form was created through renovations around 1900. At that time, the two side wings were added to the current central building. Thus, the simple manor house was transformed into a stately neo-Baroque "castle." After the castle was transferred to the municipality in 1945, it served a variety of purposes until 1992: a military hospital, residential and office buildings, a school, a kindergarten, and a summer camp. After 1992, the building was extensively renovated with federal and state support and converted into a modern seminar center. Thousands of children, young people, and adults from many European countries meet here every year for training and educational opportunities.

First mentioned in the 13th century, Count Finck von Finckenstein acquired the Alt-Madlitz castle estate in 1751. However, the educator of the Prussian kings Friedrich Wilhelm II and Frederick II did not stay there often. It was his son Friedrich Ludwig Karl who first developed the estate into a true court of the muses. Celebrities such as Ludwig Tieck, Achim von Arnim, Wilhelm von Humboldt and Clemens Brentano regularly visited there. Friedrich Ludwig Karl himself developed the plans for the extensive park that extends directly behind the manor house. Cleverly designed visual axes lined with large oak and chestnut trees characterize the oldest English landscape garden in Brandenburg. Finckenstein loved his park so much that he buried his heart there, surrounded by thirteen field stones symbolizing the number of his children. Unfortunately, when we visited in March 2024, all the ponds and even the large lake were almost completely silted up, but it is still worth a walk.

Nice village shop. Nice castle 🏰 draw. The castle park invites you to take a walk.

Trebnitz Castle now houses an educational institution with accommodation. There is a farm shop with a café and the Gustav Seitz Museum on the castle grounds. ➡️➡️➡️https://www.schloss-trebnitz.de/

The castle is privately owned. Visits to the castle itself are only possible by prior arrangement.

The lake actually only came into being as a separate body of water with the construction of the "Alter Dam" in 1869. Conveniently, it was then called Castle Lake. Another part further south, artificially separated by a dam, is the castle pond 😊. Unfortunately, the castle that gave it its name no longer exists.

Worth seeing and interesting. The castle help is accessible

Nice café with a village shop with a view of the castle, which is run by a youth organization. We had delicious iced coffee and latte macchiato.
