Schloss Kartzow

Potsdam, Germany, Germany

---

Schloss Kartzow is a historic manor house in the Kartzow district of Potsdam, surrounded by the scenic landscape of the Döberitzer Heide.

While the estate’s origins date back to the Middle Ages, the present three-winged palace was built between 1912 and 1914 in a Baroque-inspired style for Berlin spirits manufacturer Arthur Gilka and was designed by architect Eugen Schmohl. Over the years, the building served many purposes, including housing for displaced families after World War II, a children's convalescent home, a children's clinic, and a medical sanatorium.

After a period of vacancy, it underwent extensive restoration beginning in the 2000s. Today, Schloss Kartzow operates as a hotel and event venue and is particularly popular for weddings and celebrations. Surrounded by a landscaped park, it combines historic architecture with modern hospitality and is one of Potsdam’s notable heritage properties.
