Neues Schloss, Renaissance castle ruins in Tylsen, Germany

The three-story Renaissance castle structure stands at the western edge of Tylsen village, surrounded by a broad water-filled moat measuring 70 by 140 meters.

Thomas II von dem Knesebeck initiated the construction of Neues Schloss in 1620, with expansions occurring between 1853 and 1856 at the northern gable.

The castle contained wooden panel paintings from the Renaissance period and ancestral portraits from the 16th to 18th centuries, including works by artist Pesne.

Visitors can access the exterior of the castle ruins via B71 and B248 south of Salzwedel, following L8 toward Wallstawe and K1401 to Tylsen.

The castle underwent destruction during the land reform period from 1948 to 1949, beginning with the removal of roof tiles for new construction projects.
