Schloss Lanke

Schloss Lanke is a castle in Wandlitz featuring French Renaissance elements with its symmetrical facade, large windows, and ornate architectural details. The building sits in a landscape between multiple lakes and was designed using nineteenth-century architectural principles.

Eduard Knoblauch, a nineteenth-century architect, designed this castle incorporating nineteenth-century architectural principles and regional building traditions. The building demonstrates the connection between international styles and local construction methods of that era.

The castle serves as a venue for events and contains apartments and offices that give it daily purpose. Its setting between multiple lakes creates a blend of architecture and nature that visitors can experience.

The castle sits about forty minutes from Berlin and can be reached by car or the S2 train line. Visitors should know that the location between lakes means the grounds can be slippery in wet weather, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

The castle was positioned to be surrounded by three lakes - Hellsee, Bernsteinsee, and Liepnitzsee - an unusual arrangement for castles in this region. This water landscape makes the building visible from multiple shorelines and creates changing perspectives as you walk around the grounds.
