Schloss Schönhagen

Schloss Schönhagen is a white castle built in 1889 in the municipality of Brodersby near the Baltic Sea coast. The building sits on elevated ground behind steep cliffs and currently operates as a rehabilitation clinic.

The site dates back to 1652 when a farmstead near Höxmark was first documented. Hermann Jauch constructed the castle in 1889, transforming the simple rural property into a grand country residence.

The castle was home to the Jauch family for generations, who shaped the estate and its character. Today, traces of this private ownership remain visible in the architecture and grounds, which still reflect their influence.

The grounds are occupied by a clinic, so visiting may be limited or require prior arrangement. The 1913 gatehouse and landscaped grounds are often visible from outside, offering a view of the architecture.

Architect Ernst Prinz designed a distinctive gatehouse in 1913 that marked the boundary between private grounds and public space. This separate building displays architecture of its own time period and remains a visible reminder of the era when grand estates required grand entrances.
