Schloss Broock, Heritage castle in Alt Tellin, Germany.
Schloss Broock is a manor complex in Alt Tellin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, made up of a main house, horse stables, a riding hall, and an English landscape garden. The main house features castle-gothic detailing added to its facade during a 19th-century renovation.
The manor house was built between 1770 and 1777 for Major General Christian Bogislaw von Linden and quickly became the center of the local estate. Starting in 1841, architect Friedrich August Stüler reworked the building in a castle-gothic style, which is what visitors see today.
The name Broock comes from a Slavic word meaning marshy or wet ground, pointing to the landscape that existed here before the estate was built. Today, the English landscape garden laid out after plans by Peter Joseph Lenné is freely accessible and gives the grounds a relaxed, open feel.
The grounds are walkable and the English landscape garden can be explored on foot around the main buildings. A village shop, a cafe-bistro, and a beer garden on the property make it easy to take a break during the visit.
Until 1945, this estate was the largest private horse breeding operation in Vorpommern, and the stable buildings and riding hall that remain on the grounds are unusually large for a private rural property. Walking past them gives a clear sense of the scale the farm once had.
