Schloss Beuthen was a castle built in the 12th or 13th century near Kleinbeuthen, now part of Trebbin in Brandenburg, Germany. Situated by the Nuthe River, only a small, overgrown hill remains of the original structure. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Schloss Beuthen was the center of a small noble lordship that extended east along the Nuthe from Thyrower Damm to Hakendamm near Potsdam. This lordship, located in the historical Teltow region, originally included seven villages. Over time, the territory expanded northward but dissolved by the late 16th century due to economic reasons. The castle was referred to as "hus zcu Buthen" in 1367 and "castrum Buten" in 1375. It served as the administrative center for the surrounding villages, including Großbeuthen, Kleinbeuthen, Jütchendorf, Gröben, Fahlhorst, Neuendorf bei Potsdam, and Siethen. The castle remained habitable until 1687. The area was characterized by its strategic location along the Nuthe, which was later canalized. The historical significance of Schloss Beuthen lies in its role as a feudal center and its influence on the development of the surrounding region during the medieval period.
