Malchow Castle

From 1684 until his death in 1704, the manor belonged to the Brandenburg-Prussian statesman Paul von Fuchs. He had the estate converted into a "noble seat," where he repeatedly received the Prussian King Frederick I and his wife Sophie Charlotte. Paul von Fuchs had a pleasure garden with an orangery laid out west of the castle, which unfortunately no longer exists today. The eastern side of the manor extends to Lake Malchow and has retained its charm to this day. Here, Paul von Fuchs once had fruit and wine gardens laid out and rare trees planted. In the courtyard, he established a brewery and later a distillery.

From 1734, Malchow was administered by Niederschönhausen until it was acquired by the city of Berlin in 1882, which used large areas as sewage farms. Fontane vividly described the castle in 1878 in his "Christmas Walk." He also visited the Romanesque village church and paid a visit to the pastor.

A commemorative plaque reminds of Paul von Fuchs' outstanding services as a statesman. The castle is currently vacant and is to be renovated and used under the direction of Agrarbörse Ost e.V.
