Schloss Heiligenstedten

The castle features a three-story building with neogothic architectural elements, incorporating late baroque foundations and a symmetrical facade design.

Otto von Blome commissioned the construction of this castle in 1769, following significant damage to the previous manor house by a storm tide in 1756.

The castle demonstrates the architectural transitions from baroque to neogothic styles, reflecting the changing preferences of German nobility in Schleswig-Holstein.

Located at an elevation of 2 meters on Schlossstrasse, the castle remains under private ownership and requires permission for visitation.

At the end of Castle Street stands an obelisk from 1796, topped with a dog sculpture commemorating Wulf Blome, brother of Otto Blome I.
