Herrenhaus Melkof, Gothic Revival manor in Vellahn, Germany.

The Melkof Castle stands near a lake with red brick walls and decorative elements that reflect German architectural traditions.

The estate first appeared in records in 1471 under the von Pentz family, while the current structure was built in 1888 by architect Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel.

The property includes both a Gothic Revival castle and a Neoclassical Lutheran church, representing different architectural periods of German design.

The 5,000-square-meter castle, among the largest in northern Germany, transformed from a retirement home during the German Democratic Republic into private property in 2003.

The castle incorporates Renaissance-style decorative elements and draws inspiration from the architectural design of Rostock Castle.
