Schloss Neuenhagen is a Renaissance castle located in the Oderbruch region northeast of Berlin, near Bad Freienwalde. It is one of the oldest surviving secular buildings in central and eastern Brandenburg, with origins dating back to the 13th century. The current structure was built in 1560 as a representative Renaissance residence by Francesco Chiaramella de Gandino, an Italian architect active in Berlin.
The building combines Italian Renaissance influences with regional Brandenburg architecture. It features vaulted ceilings, stone and wooden floors from different periods, large halls, stucco decorations, and walls up to 1.85 meters thick.
The property offers approximately 1,120 m² of usable living space, plus an attic with potential for around 340 m² of additional space. It includes multiple representative rooms, six bathrooms, and a restored castle chapel with official civil wedding authorization.
The chapel contains late Renaissance stucco elements and was carefully restored under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jan Raue. The restoration of the entire building focused on structural preservation and historical accuracy, including roof and façade repairs and restoration of architectural details. Modern elements were added discreetly.
The surrounding park area has mature trees and follows historic landscape structures.
The castle is historically linked to the noble family von Uchtenhagen, an influential Brandenburg family active from the 13th century until their extinction in 1618, after which their properties passed to the Brandenburg electors.
The property is suitable for private residence, cultural use, hospitality projects, events, or commercial purposes.
Location: Bad Freienwalde is the oldest spa town in Brandenburg, set in a hilly landscape known as the Oderbruch. The area includes forests, historic estates, and cultural sites. Berlin is approximately one hour away by car, with additional regional transport connections and access to BER airport within about 90 minutes.
