Altes Schloss Freyenstein, Renaissance castle ruin in Wittstock/Dosse, Germany.
The fragmentary remains of Altes Schloss Freyenstein include walls of an irregular three-wing layout with two semi-circular tower remains flanking the entrance gate.
Construction of the castle began in 1556 under Conrad von Rohr, with architect Dominicus Parr leading the project until financial difficulties halted its completion.
The north facade features terracotta decorations from Statius von Düren's workshop, displaying intricate designs of vines, grotesques, and portrait medallions showing Paris and Conrad von Rohr.
The castle grounds host weddings and contain an exhibition of 19th and 20th-century household items, with guided audio tours available since 2020.
Seventy-five percent of the current terracotta elements are replicas produced by Hedwig Bollhagen's workshop, based on historical images and original casts.
