Nennhausen Castle

Schloss Nennhausen is a manor house in the municipality of Nennhausen in the Havelland district of Brandenburg.

The building is a listed monument in the state of Brandenburg.

• Built from 1735 to 1737 as a three-wing complex.
• Residence of the two Romantic writers Caroline and Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué.
• In 1859/1860, the north wing was demolished and the building was redesigned and neo-Gothicized according to plans by Ferdinand von Arnim.
• After 1992, the partially burned-out house was restored and completed as an external project for the State Garden Show 2006 in Rathenow.
• The castle park was laid out in the English style at the end of the 18th century.

Exterior

The two-story plastered building with a hipped roof was originally built in Baroque style. The current appearance is largely due to the neo-Gothic redesign by Ferdinand von Arnim. The main facade is characterized by a central risalit with a pointed-arch portal and a balcony above it. The windows are mostly pointed-arch windows with tracery. The corners of the building are emphasized by turrets.
