Château de Philipshof, Renaissance manor estate in Putlitz, Germany.

Château de Philipshof is a manor house in Putlitz, rebuilt in 1895 in an eclectic style that mixes northern Renaissance elements with Romantic ones. The estate then covered 662 hectares, and the house later served as a village school until summer 2005. It is a protected monument and has stood empty since.

Philippshof was founded in the late 16th century by Philipp Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz and named after him; it belonged to the Gans Edle Herren zu Putlitz family. In the 1870s the estate passed to the town of Putlitz, and in 1878 the family bought it back through an intermediary for a recorded 126,000 Thaler. The present manor house was built in 1895 in an eclectic style mixing northern Renaissance and Romantic elements, on an estate then covering 662 hectares. After 1945 the property was expropriated under the land reform and became state property in the GDR.

The name Philippshof comes from Philipp Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz, who founded the estate in the late 16th century; it stayed in the Gans zu Putlitz family until 1945. The present house, rebuilt in 1895, mixes northern Renaissance and Romantic elements. After 1949 it served as a school until summer 2005 and has stood empty since.

The manor house stands in Putlitz in the Prignitz region of Brandenburg and is a protected monument. It was auctioned on 15 December 2005 and has stood empty since the primary school closed in summer 2005, so visitors should expect a building awaiting renovation rather than an open site.

The estate's name honours Philipp Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz, who founded it in the late 16th century. In 1878 his family bought the old Philippshof back from the town of Putlitz through an intermediary for a recorded 126,000 thalers. The present house dates from 1895, when the estate covered 662 hectares.
