Schloss Meseberg, Baroque château in Gransee, Germany
Schloss Meseberg is a Baroque château in Gransee featuring pale walls with Ionic half-columns and a high mansard roof. The three-story structure contains elegant rooms and halls designed for governmental and diplomatic use.
Built in 1739 for the Wartensleben family, the château replaced an earlier structure that burned down on the same location. Since then, it has remained an important landmark and eventually became the site of state receptions and government functions.
Today it serves as a guest house for the German Federal Government, where diplomatic meetings and cabinet sessions take place regularly. The building has become a working symbol of German statecraft and international relations.
The château is located around 65 kilometers north of Berlin and can be reached by car via the B96 highway from the capital. Access is restricted since it functions as a government guest house, so advance planning and special permission are necessary for visits.
A wine bar in the basement can accommodate about 30 people and was originally designed as a kitchen. This conversion shows how the château's historic spaces have been adapted over time for different purposes.
