Description

Schloss Wiesenburg stands south of the centre of Wiesenburg in the federal state of Brandenburg, district of Potsdam-Mittelmark, on the edge of the Brandtsheide in the Hoher Fläming Nature Park. The associated, publicly accessible palace park extends between the palace and Wiesenburg railway station and has been a protected monument since 1982.

The roots of the complex go back to a medieval castle of the 12th century, which after a fire in the 16th century was replaced by a new palace building. Over the centuries this was gradually extended to its present size. The palace received its appearance in the neo-Renaissance style during rebuilding work in the 19th century, when it was owned by the von Watzdorf family. Used from 1946 as a school and later as a boarding school, the complex was sold to private investors in 1998. They had the palace buildings comprehensively renovated by 2003 and converted them into an exclusive residential and office complex.
