Manor house/castle from 1847. Currently under private restoration

In the border region fought over by Brandenburg, Mecklenburg and Pomerania, the von Raven family built this castle in 1250, which fell to the Lords of Blankenburg 30 years later! The keep still stands 24 meters high. I would have loved to climb the tower! But I was still able to take a look at the surroundings with my drone!

The castle, a typical border castle, is named after a Uckermark noble family who owned it from the 14th to the 17th century. had in possession, referred to as “Blankenburg”. The castle ruins lie on an artificially created castle hill about 4 m high. The castle hill is approximately rectangular and surrounded by an 8 m wide moat. The partially preserved curtain wall enclosed an area of approx. 36 x 28 m. Remains of a building (gate tower?) protruding from the western curtain wall can still be seen. The high corner tower with a round superstructure is located on the SW corner of the Bering. The keep is also called the Fangelturm.

Although interesting, unfortunately there are no information boards

The castle ruins can not only be viewed from the outside. The key is in the fisherman's house. Just ask nicely

In the barn, where 600 beets were grown in the GDR, today there are two dance studios and a cinema hall. In the former piggery - a German-Polish meeting center. In the old grain warehouse - a kitchen with a dining room, in the former distillery - a cafe. Only the palace has still not undergone a general renovation, although it bears a proud name: the International Center for Artistic Research. The history of Broellin dates back to the 12th century, when it was ruled by the knight Bralin. The historic manor farm has five hectares, with eight buildings with a total usable area of 12,500 square meters. When the GDR was collapsing, agricultural production according to the old model ceased to be profitable. Subsequent LPG facilities were excluded from it and a new user was frantically searched for. The location helped: only 30 km from the Polish border, 40 from Szczecin, and 130 from Berlin. Since 1992, it has been under the care of the Association: "schloss broellin e.V", which was founded by independent theater producers and directors, scenographers, theatrologists, musicians and sociologists, involved in the search for new paths in art. They organize artistic workshops, vernissages, concerts and performances in all fields. Their common goal is to search for links between art, knowledge and social life. From the beginning, they have used their location in the Polish-German border region for artistic exchange between the two countries. For 15 years, they have been closely cooperating with the KANA and PLECIUGA theaters in Szczecin. Every year, they actively participate in the KONTRAPUNKT Festival of Small Theatrical Forms.

Friedrich II (Eisenzahn), Elector of Brandenburg, conquered the castle. It was destroyed in the 30 Years War.

There is nothing left to see of the former castle, except for the moat and a castle wall. There are explanations on a sign.
