The current castle was built in 1878. The previous building was converted into a baroque castle in 1652 by Carl Gustav Wrangel, the Swedish general governor of Pomerania. In 1945 it was expropriated and occupied by the Soviet military administration. Today it is in private hands.

The ferry does not always stop there in Ludwigsburg as scheduled. In the low season only after calling and booking in advance with the shipping company on +49 160 95100208. The crew is very helpful with bicycles and the trip to Greifswald costs €15 including the bicycle.

The castle is private and not accessible, but walking (not cycling) is allowed on the park paths - it's worth it. A very well-kept facility.
