Tips from the Community
The late Gothic nave made of fieldstone, closed on three sides to the east and supported by buttresses, is now plastered. The hall church was extended in 1703 to include the rectangular brick church tower with a gable roof arranged across the nave to the west and the five-sided sacristy made of timber framing to the east. In the bell tower, which has sound arcades on all sides, hang four church bells; the oldest dates from 1582.

Today, the baroque Kossenblatt Castle stands on the site of a medieval moated castle. Field Marshal and Minister J. A. Reichsgraf von Barfuß had the castle built between 1699 and 1712. However, the field marshal died before the castle was completed and his wife, née Eleonore Countess von Dönhoff, had the castle completed. Theodor Fontane wrote down numerous legends surrounding the family and its wealth. In 1736, King Friedrich Wilhelm I acquired the castle as a retirement home, but only stayed there for a few months until his death in 1740. In the following years the owners of the castle changed frequently and in 1967 the castle was finally restored. The castle is currently privately owned.

Kossenblatt Castle. Unfortunately locked for ages. Unfortunately, there is not much about the history of the castle. The 7 bridges hiking trail also leads along here.

The writer Günter de Bruyn acquired this house in the GDR era. He describes the acquisition of it and life in it in the book "Abseits", which is well worth reading. It also contains sections about the nearby Blabbermühle and the Brandenburg area.
