Basedow Castle

Highlight • Castle

Very beautiful and picturesque castle in the middle of the village Basedow. A beautiful gem (and once fully restored...). The castle is also surrounded by a well-tended park. And there are some cafes nearby with a view of the castle.

To reach the restaurant you have to cross the canal. Either you can be picked up or you take one of the pedal boats.

Basedow Castle is a real eye-catcher and beautiful to look at. Together with Lenné Park and the small village with the village church, it forms a wonderful ensemble. Unfortunately, the castle itself can only be partially visited as part of a guided tour. But it is also worth seeing from the outside. There is a small path leading directly around the castle. The park is free and freely accessible and it is also worth taking a long walk here. The reflection of the castle in the adjacent village pond is also beautiful!👌 - why they have created several highlights for the same thing here is a mystery to me, as it is completely unnecessary! -

Lake Kummerow is, after all, the eighth largest lake in Germany. Here at Kummerow Harbor, there are always impressive plays of light across the water and the beach, always worth a stop. On April 29, 2024, the "Hafenkieker" kiosk reopened here with a new operator and harbor master and extended opening hours. A short distance away is Kummerow Castle, which is worth seeing - especially inside.
