Storkow Castle, Medieval castle in Storkow (Mark), Germany
Description
Storkow Castle is a stone fortress on elevated ground in Brandenburg, featuring Renaissance architectural elements and a preserved central courtyard. The structure displays multiple building phases and now serves as an information center with exhibition spaces.
History
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1209, when the lords of Strehla used it as a residence until leaving in 1382. After that, it passed through different owners and underwent various modifications over the centuries.
Culture
The name Storkow comes from the stork, the town's emblem that still appears in local imagery and identity. Visitors find displays that show how the castle and surrounding community have always been linked through generations.
Practical
Visiting works well with guided tours and seasonal exhibitions available throughout the year. Its role as an information center for the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park means current information about the region is readily available.
Did you know?
A devastating fire in 1978 caused major damage, but thorough restoration from 2000 to 2009 brought it back to life. The reopening coincided with the town's 800th anniversary and marked a turning point in its preservation.
