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.
The grounds are occupied by a clinic, so access for visitors is limited. The 1913 gatehouse and the surrounding park are still visible from the roadside without entering the property.
The gatehouse was designed by architect Ernst Prinz in 1913 and stands physically apart from the main building. It marks the entrance to the grounds and displays its own architectural style, different from that of the castle itself.
