Schloss Zichow, also known as Burg Zichow, is a historic castle located in the municipality of Zichow, Amt Gramzow, Landkreis Uckermark, Germany. The site has origins dating back to the 13th century, likely constructed during the German eastward colonization. The original medieval fortification included a bergfried (keep), which still stands today and was first documented in 1527. Over the centuries, the castle changed ownership multiple times, including periods under Pomerania and Brandenburg. In 1449, it was granted to Hans von Beerfelde with the condition of maintaining it. The Arnim family acquired the property in 1456 and retained it until 1945. Following a fire in 1745, they rebuilt the castle on the old foundations, creating a two-story Baroque manor house with an L-shaped layout and a hipped roof. The estate includes various outbuildings, such as stables and barns, and features a small park with a pond. The manor house underwent renovations around 1897 and after 1992. The site is designated as an architectural heritage monument in Brandenburg, highlighting its cultural significance. In 2015, the castle was sold to real estate investor Georg Thaler, who is known for collecting historic properties.
