Remplin Palace

Remplin Palace is a baroque château in Malchin featuring a grand arcaded loggia and multiple ceremonial rooms throughout its structure. The building displays classical baroque forms with grouped windows and a well-proportioned facade that speaks to the importance of the residence.

The residence belonged to the von Hahn family from 1405 until 1816, when money problems led to its sale to the Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe. This transition marked a significant shift in the ownership and management of the estate.

The name "Remplin" comes from a nearby village, and the palace served as a center for intellectual life with its extensive library and music rooms that hosted performances and scholarly gatherings. People visiting today can still sense how this place once brought together educated families and musicians.

The northern wing is undergoing substantial restoration work, which affects access to parts of the property. Visitors should check ahead to see which sections are open for viewing and what conditions to expect during a visit.

Count Frederick II von Hahn built Mecklenburg's first observatory near the palace in 1792, which was among the largest observatories outside Great Britain at that time. This facility demonstrates the scientific interests of the family and their role in European scholarly circles.
