Krampfer Palace, 18th-century palace in Plattenburg, Germany.
Krampfer Palace is an 18th-century mansion set in the Prignitz landscape of Brandenburg and surrounded by a farm complex with brick buildings. The main structure displays the classical architecture of its era with balanced facades and window arrangements, while formal garden areas and a large pond extend behind it.
The manor was acquired near the end of the 18th century by Hans-Georg Gottlob von Möllendorf, who extensively transformed the building between 1792 and 1809. After World War II it underwent several different uses until the property was abandoned about 30 years ago.
The name stems from the Krampf family who shaped the property across generations. Today the building reflects how residents once wanted to live, with everything arranged in order and symmetry to command the surrounding landscape.
The property is located on Dorfstrasse 11 in the Prignitz district and is best explored on foot, with a walk around the exterior areas taking about 15 minutes. The expansive garden areas and buildings allow you to view the place at your own pace without rush.
After 1945 the building served in succession as a school, bank, kindergarten, and community clinic before eventually being abandoned. This varied post-war history shows how essential the property was to the local community.
