History of Schloss Kartzow

Schloss Kartzow was built in 1911 by order of banker Richard von Simon. This estate is a prime example of aristocratic architecture from the late historicism era, surrounded by a meticulously maintained park with centuries-old trees. After various uses in the 20th century, including Soviet occupation, the building fell into disrepair. However, in 2004, it was fully renovated and transformed into a modern event venue, preserving its historical grandeur.
