Kaarz Manor and Park
Highlight • Castle
After the Hamburg merchant Julius Hüniken acquired the estate, the Hüniken family had the manor house built in 1873 as a two-storey plastered building in the classicist style according to plans by the Berlin architects Saniter and Becker.
The 7 hectare park was laid out as an English landscape park from 1873 with the help of the landscape architect C. Ansorge. It has a valuable tree population, some rare woody plants such as tulip trees, sequoias, Douglas firs and cypresses.
The Hüniken family used Kaarz as a summer residence until 1945. After 1945, the manor house was initially used as refugee accommodation, briefly as a school and later as a retirement home. As a result, only a few details of the interior have been preserved, including a fireplace in the “Red Salon” and the ceiling painting in the foyer. In 1992, the Gaertner-Hüniken family bought back Gut Kaarz, extensively restored the building and opened a castle hotel.
In 2013, the owner changed hands.
The well-kept park with its dendrological sights is definitely worth a visit. The neo-Gothic chapel of the Bülow family and the neo-Renaissance mausoleum of the Hüniken family are also located here.
