Schloss Ralswiek, Renaissance castle in Ralswiek, Germany

The rectangular castle stands on a hill overlooking the Großer Jasmunder Bodden, featuring two towers with conical roofs and a central entrance cupola.

Built between 1894 and 1896 by manufacturer Hugo Sholto Graf Douglas, the castle replaced a single-story building according to designs from Berlin architect Gustav Stroh.

The castle interior displays notable Art Nouveau elements created by architect Henry van de Velde, including preserved stained glass windows and original door fittings.

The castle operates as a hotel with modern amenities, offering rooms with views of the Bodden and access to a restaurant serving regional specialties.

A natural stage at the castle's base hosts the Störtebeker Festival from June to September, accommodating 7,000 spectators along the Bodden's banks.
