Schloss Lübbenau is a neoclassical château located in Lübbenau/Spreewald, Brandenburg, Germany. Built between 1817 and 1839, it stands on the site of a former medieval water castle. The Lynar family acquired the estate in 1621, and it remained in their possession for over 300 years. The current structure was designed by Carl August Benjamin Siegel, with significant renovations occurring between 1817 and 1820, and the addition of twin towers in 1839. The surrounding nine-hectare park, designed in the English landscape style by Johann and Heinrich Freschke, was based on plans by Peter Joseph Lenné. During World War II, the castle was used by the Wehrmacht and later served as a hospital and children's home. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Lynar family reclaimed the property and restored it, transforming it into a four-star hotel. The château features a V-shaped layout with three stories, brick construction, and a pitched roof. It includes an orangery, now a café, and other historical buildings like the Kanzleigebäude and Marstall & Remise. Schloss Lübbenau is a protected architectural heritage monument, reflecting its historical and cultural significance in the region. It continues to attract visitors as a hotel and cultural site.
