Schloss Liebenberg is a historic château located in Löwenberger Land, Brandenburg, Germany, approximately 60 kilometers north of Berlin. Originally an estate of the noble Bredow family in the 16th century, it gained prosperity under the von und zu Gertefeld family from 1652. The current château, built between 1875 and 1906, replaced an earlier manor house and features an eclectic architectural style. The baroque garden was transformed into a landscape park in the 19th century by renowned designer Peter Joseph Lenné. The most notable owner was Prince Philipp zu Eulenburg and Hertefeld, a diplomat and confidant of Emperor Wilhelm II, who frequently visited for hunting. The relationship ended following the Harden-Eulenburg Affair, which exposed the vices of the "Liebenberg circle." During the Nazi era, Hermann Göring also hunted there, and the castle hosted the wedding of resistance members Libertas and Harro Schulze-Boysen in 1936. After World War II, the estate was nationalized and repurposed for various uses, including housing and offices. Following German reunification, it was sold and now operates as a hotel and event venue. Managed by the DKB Foundation, it hosts cultural and educational activities, maintaining its status as an architectural heritage monument.
