Schloss Gartow

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.

Construction began in 1710 under the Bernstorff family with architect Johann Caspar Borchmann, shaping the landscape for generations to come. This rebuilding project brought significant changes to the local area and its development.

The castle reflects the life of the family who inhabits and uses it, seen in the preserved rooms and furnishings that blend everyday living with formal representation.

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.
