Schwedt Palace, Baroque castle in Schwedt/Oder, Germany
Description
Schwedt Palace was a Baroque structure with three wings and two towers flanking the garden side. A 100-meter chestnut-lined avenue led to the courtyard and formed a grand entrance approach.
History
The palace was built between 1670 and 1688 under the direction of Electress Dorothea as a residence for the Brandenburg-Schwedt branch. Its completion marked the establishment of an important family seat in the region.
Culture
The site's name reflects its connection to the ruling family who made it their home. Visitors can see today how the location shaped the town's identity and remains central to local memory.
Practical
The original building was destroyed in 1945 and demolished in 1962. Today a cultural center occupies the former grounds and welcomes visitors interested in the site's history and current cultural activities.
Did you know?
A scale model of the palace was funded by donations from local residents and stands at the historic site today. Alongside the model are seven replicated Baroque sandstone sculptures and an original sundial dating to 1740.
