Schloss Kittendorf

Schloss Kittendorf is a castle featuring Gothic Revival style combined with Tudor-inspired architecture, visible in its symmetrical wings, pointed arches, and ornamental stone details on the facades. The building now operates as a hotel where guests can experience the historic interiors and rooms.

Friedrich Hitzig, a student of renowned architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, designed and built the castle between 1848 and 1853 for Hans Friedrich von Oertzen. Its construction period coincided with a time of major architectural innovation in Germany.

The castle served as a meeting place for regional nobility and dignitaries during the 19th century, reflecting its role in local high society. Today visitors can walk through rooms that once hosted important social gatherings of the era.

The castle operates as a hotel offering rooms and suites for those seeking accommodation in a historic setting. Its location near Waren an der Müritz provides convenient access to the surrounding region.

The surrounding parkland was designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, blending natural landscape features with deliberately planned garden areas. This grounds offer visitors a chance to experience both the castle and an example of 19th century landscape architecture in a single visit.
