Schloss Schönhagen, Castle in Brodersby, Germany
Schloss Schönhagen is a white manor house in the municipality of Brodersby, on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein. It stands on elevated ground behind steep cliffs and is used today as a rehabilitation clinic.
A farmstead near Höxmark was first documented in 1652, before Hermann Jauch built the current castle on the site in 1889. This transformed a modest rural property into a grand country residence.
The name Schönhagen refers to the natural setting of the estate along the Baltic coast, where cliffs and trees separate the grounds from the surrounding land. Today the building serves as a clinic, but the landscaped park and facade remain clearly visible from outside.
Schloss Schönhagen now houses a Helios rehabilitation clinic, so the building and grounds are not open to tourists. The 1913 gatehouse and the park can be seen from Schloßstraße in Brodersby without entering the property.
The gatehouse (Torhaus) was built in 1913 to designs by the architect Ernst Prinz (1878–1974), commissioned by Erich Jauch, who had inherited the estate from his father Hermann. It stands as a separate structure from the 1889 manor house and, like the castle, is a listed monument in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district register.
