Description

Schloss Kossenblatt was a manor house and a royal Prussian hunting lodge and summer residence or refuge. It is located in the village of Kossenblatt, municipality of Tauche, near Beeskow in the district of Oder-Spree and was considered, alongside Schloss Königs Wusterhausen, the favourite palace of the Soldier King Friedrich Wilhelm I. Today, as for most of its 300 years of existence, it is an empty, abandoned palace for which no lasting use was ever found. In its history it was really and actually lived in by only one person: Eleonore von Dönhoff from 1711–1726, who probably also initiated and advanced its construction. According to legend, she is said to have hidden her husband's Turkish treasure there and haunts the place as the White Lady.
