Tips from the Community
First mentioned as a castle at the end of the 12th century, Penkun Castle is today one of the last remaining castles of the Pomeranian Dukes. The castle association runs a border and customs museum in the former administrator's house, and there is a small exhibition on the judicial system in Pomerania in the castle cellar.

A bathing beach at the Schlosssee in Penkun. Unfortunately, the sandy beach is now overgrown with grass and weeds. There is also a small beach volleyball court.

Picturesquely situated on the castle hill, the residence in Penkun dominates the city. In addition to the castle dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, the entire complex of buildings includes relics of a medieval stronghold, a gatehouse from 1486, a gate from 1614, the manager's house from the 18th century and a farm building built in the 19th century.

Directly on the shore of Lake Lebehner See, a new representative manor house was built between 1907 and 1912, commissioned by the Cologne cement manufacturer Carl Königs and his wife Ursula, née von Dewitz. The old manor house then served as the estate manager's house. The previous owners of the Königs, who owned the estate from 1905 until the expropriation in 1945, were the Brandeck-Nadrense families, who sold it to the von Ramin family, who in turn sold it to the Gamp brothers. After 1945, both houses were initially used as refugee accommodation, and later also for municipal purposes and rural consumption. Today they are private property. The renovation of the manor house has started.
