Top 4 Castles around Altenhagen

Wolde Castle was a medieval castle near Wolde. It was built around the late 14th century and was the seat of the nobleman Bernd II von Maltzan, also known as "The Evil Bernd," in the 15th century. Bernd von Maltzan (* before 1474; † 1525 in Wolde) was a Pomeranian robber baron from the noble Maltzan family. He came into conflict with Duke Bogislaw X of Pomerania after he disregarded a ruling accusing him of abusing his office in the Loitz bailiwick. The duke then besieged the castle with troops from Greifswald, Stralsund, Anklam, and Demmin. After an explosion in the gunpowder stores, the castle was captured and destroyed on August 29, 1491. The Maltzans subsequently lost Wolde, which fell to the von Preen family. Later, in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the property temporarily returned to the Maltzan family. Today, the castle complex is an archaeological site with ramparts and a moat. A neo-Romanesque church has stood on the castle hill since 1859/60, which now remains as a ruin.

Wolde Church is located on the castle hill. It was built in 1859/1860 in the Neo-Romanesque style after the original castle complex was destroyed in the late 14th century.

Beautiful, secluded location in the heart of the Tollense Valley, surrounded by farmland and meadows. I'm already looking forward to its completion and opening.

Broock Castle, once the social center of the region and the largest private stud farm in Western Pomerania, will be expanded into a supra-regional conference and cultural center in the coming years. Since May 2023, our guests will be served in the new village shop with café-bistro and beer garden.

The once mighty, impregnable Wolde fortress used to stand here! The evil Bernd von Maltzahn, who lived here, was known and notorious as a robber baron. He committed several serious crimes, so that Bogislaw X. besieged the castle with the help of troops from Greifswald, Stralsund, Anklam and Demmin. After the defenders' gunpowder supplies exploded and damaged the fortifications, the castle was conquered and destroyed on August 29, 1491. Today, only a few remains of the old castle's walls remain. They are located just next to the rebuilt village church on the plateau...

It was a double moated castle, as the two brothers Hartwig and Heinrich Maltzahn had a terrible falling out. The upper wall was called "the right castle", the lower wall "the outer castle". Both had their own gates and bridges to the land route! The upper part was partially destroyed when the Tollense was straightened. Unfortunately, the remains of the foundations can no longer be viewed today because there is no access to them and everything is overgrown!

Can only be admired as a "spectator".

In 1777, Adam von Blücher had the castle built. The magnificent three-axis central projections extend over two floors and end with a high lunette gable, each of which has a coat of arms cartouche. The von Blücher and von Maltzahn families took turns in owning Gützkow. Inside there is a very beautiful, restored, two-wing staircase with restored Rococo decoration on the ceilings. Behind the house is a baroque garden. After a period of vacancy, Helmuth von Maltzahn, a descendant of the former lord of the castle, is now the owner. He wants to have the entire complex and the five-hectare park restored to its original state. The former cowshed was turned into a concert hall. On August 18, 2001, the first concert took place in the castle park as part of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival. Avenues, ponds and old fieldstone walls have already been renovated.
