Schloss Lebusa, Castle in Lebusa, Brandenburg, Germany.
Schloss Lebusa is a two-story castle with four wings arranged around an inner courtyard and round corner towers at each angle. The structure displays neo-Gothic features including crenellated gables, and a park with trees from around the world surrounds the building.
A water castle of the von Löser family stood here from 1509 to 1680. A house owned by Constantin von Bodenhausen preceded the present building, which was erected on its foundations by 1856. After a fire in 1908, Julius von Bodenhausen had it rebuilt in altered form in 1910, with a new roof and interior.
The name Lebusa comes from the village, and the castle was the seat of the von Löser family from 1509 to 1680, followed by the von Milckau and von Bodenhausen families. Since 1998 it has been a private residence of the von Erichsen family, so the house and its period rooms are not open to visitors.
The residence is privately owned and not open to visitors; the entrance drive lies on the east side, the park to the west, and a farmyard to the south. The village church stands northeast of the house. The park, with its old trees, is likewise private property.
The 1910 rebuild by Julius von Bodenhausen kept the 1856 foundations but changed the roof and refitted the interior. Below the wings, cellars survive, and their masonry foundations point to older building fabric on the site.
