Schloss Gartow, Manor house in Samtgemeinde Gartow, Lower Saxony, Germany

Schloss Gartow is a baroque manor house in Samtgemeinde Gartow, Lower Saxony. It displays a symmetrical facade with large window rows, roof dormers, and a mansard roof topped with columns at the entrance.

A castle of the Lords of Gartow stood here by 1225; the Johanniter order bought it in 1360 and received permission for stone walls in 1371. The von Bülow family held it from 1438 until 1694, when Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff bought the estate for 50,000 talers. He had the decayed Renaissance building replaced by a baroque schloss built from 1710 to 1727 to plans by Johann Caspar Borchmann.

The Bernstorff family has owned the estate since 1694, when Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff bought it for 50,000 thalers. His grandson Johann Hartwig Ernst, Danish foreign minister, expanded and decorated the palace and hosted the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock there. Since 1971 the Gartow Palace Concerts, including the Pentecost festival, have been held in the Kulturgut, and holiday apartments are rented out.

The estate sits in a rural area and is easily reached by car, surrounded by agricultural land. Visitors should note this is a private residence and access may be limited to the grounds or specific tour times.

A former brewery storage building still stands on the grounds, predating the castle itself. This structure hints at the area's brewing heritage and shows how the use of the land evolved over time.
