Schloss is a château in Badingen, in Zehdenick, Brandenburg, Germany. Also known as the Festes Haus Badingen, it stands beside the local church as part of a historic complex. According to the provided information, the Festes Haus and the adjoining church were built before the Thirty Years’ War. The former Renaissance château was heavily altered over the centuries and today no longer closely resembles the building shown in a copper engraving from 1652, described as the earliest surviving depiction. The neighboring church has retained its original basic form after restoration, as a hall church with a transverse west tower and a recessed choir. It served as the burial place of the von Trott family, who received the estate in 1551 from the Electors of Brandenburg. In 1895, the family crypt in front of the main altar was discovered. On the north wall of the choir, a carved funerary shield decorated with family coats of arms survives for Georg Friedrich von Trott, who died in 1666. Today, the Festes Haus is used for events and houses a local history room. Visits are possible by prior telephone arrangement.
