After the federal government gave up the castle (it was Merkel's castle and she famously doesn't like Merz), the hotel and restaurant also closed on July 1, 2026. :-(

Good wild boar dishes, although with a snack bar character. Not exactly cheap.

The mill was first documented in 1530 and originally belonged to the Lindow convent (later the Lindow ladies' convent and office). It is one of the last remaining water and windmills in the region. In the Middle Ages, it served the monastery, which was one of the richest in the March of Brandenburg. Fires destroyed parts of the complex in 1805 and 1846; it was rebuilt afterwards. The current two-story main building dates from 1848 (or reconstruction after 1846) and is an example of Prussian rural architecture.

The Schlosswirt Meseberg is a family-run hotel located in the former coach-builder's workshop and distillery of Meseberg Castle on the banks of the Huwenowsee lake. Since the restoration of Meseberg Castle and its handover as a guesthouse to the federal government in 2007, the adjacent buildings have been used as a hotel and restaurant. Otherwise, the magnificent backdrop of Meseberg Castle can be used for private conferences or celebrations.

The baroque terraced garden has been elaborately restored. The division into axes emerged from the existing stock. The altitude of the garden parts was determined based on the building fabric and excavation findings. The lake parterre received two broderie compartments in an elongated outline, as was customary at the time of its creation. A modern form was developed for the undocumented broderie. In the subordinate southwestern parterre, a lawn parterre seemed appropriate, the ornamental structure of which was also designed in a modern style. Garden stairs were not documented from the Baroque period, but were necessary for use.
