Schloss Hohenbocka, Gothic Revival château in Hohenbocka, Germany.
Schloss Hohenbocka is a château complex in Hohenbocka in southern Brandenburg, consisting of a large castle of 1,245 square metres and a small castle of 462 square metres, set in a 66,045-square-metre park. The grounds also hold a 250-square-metre nursery and carriage houses of 72 and 77 square metres. The main building, built in a fairy-tale-inspired style, replaced an earlier manor house.
The castle was built between 1897 and 1898 by the von Götz family as a replacement for an earlier manor house on the site. Additional structures including stables and a secondary residence were added to the property over the following years.
The castle represents how 19th-century Germans reimagined medieval architecture through a romantic lens, with details drawn from fairy tale imagery. You can see this style reflected in every ornamental feature as you walk through the grounds.
Schloss Hohenbocka stands in the municipality of Hohenbocka in southern Brandenburg, in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district, not in Saxony. The grounds cover 66,045 square metres, with the large and small castles, the nursery and the carriage houses set in a park. The hotel reopened in March 2025 with 21 rooms, so visitors should book ahead.
The estate was expanded in stages, first with stables and a carriage house, then with a separate smaller residence added years later. These additions reveal how the original owners adapted the property over time to meet their growing needs.
