Guided tour with Carola Morgenstern, Gernot Hübner and Brunhilde Weiß | Participation: 15 euros
Griebenow Castle, with its park and estate grounds, is considered to be an outstanding architectural testimony to Sweden's time as a great power in northern Germany and a manor house in an unusually well-preserved estate.
Under Count Carl Gustaf Rehnskiöld (1651-1722), Field Marshal to the Swedish King Charles XII (1882-1718), and his wife Elisabeth Funck, one of the largest non-royal Swedish castles with farmsteads and estate housing was built in Griebenow in 1707-09 in the style of Swedish Baroque Classicism. Griebenow Castle is the core of the absolutist castle and estate complex, the culmination of its building, axis and spatial composition. Over the centuries, the estate was renovated, altered and rebuilt several times. The Baroque design principles were generally taken into account, which means that the overarching design ideas can still be seen throughout the castle and estate complex today.
Today, the approx. 14-hectare castle park forms the main part of the Griebenow park and gardens.
The park tour would like to pay tribute to the almost 40-year commitment of the municipality to the exemplary revitalization of the grounds. After the park tour, the newly renovated castle can be visited.
