Bützow Castle, Renaissance château in Bützow, Germany

The three-story plaster building with a high gable roof stands as a testament to Renaissance architecture in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The bishops of Schwerin constructed the original castle in 1239, which Duke Ulrich later transformed into a Renaissance château during the mid-16th century.

The former bishop's chapel now houses a museum of local history, preserving the heritage and traditions of the Bützow region.

The castle currently operates as a company headquarters, featuring office spaces and residential apartments following extensive renovations.

The foundation walls of Bützow Castle date back to the 13th century, with only three bays of the original bishop's chapel remaining from the ring-like complex.
