Reichenow-Möglin: Castle, Thaer and Swimming Area
Accommodation in Reichenow-Möglin
Castle architecture, places of remembrance and a swimming area by the lake shape the varied discoveries to be made in Reichenow-Möglin. In Reichenow, Reichenow Castle stands in the park landscape by Langer See; in Möglin, the estate park, exhibition and village church tell the story of the area and Albrecht Daniel Thaer. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Reichenow-Möglin, you can choose the focus of your stay, from local history and culture to time by the water.
Reichenow Castle and its history
The castle is a notable building in the English Tudor style and was built around 1900. Reichenow Castle is also known as a filming location for the series “Bibi & Tina.” Today, the stylishly restored building houses a hotel with a restaurant. The hotel also has a park with access to the lake. This combination of castle architecture, film history and present-day use makes the building a distinctive point of interest for anyone who likes to combine architecture and local history during their stay.
Thaer’s life and memorials in Möglin
Several places in Möglin are dedicated to Albrecht Daniel Thaer (1752–1828), a teacher, statesman and agricultural scientist. Since 2009, a permanent exhibition on his life and work has been housed in a modern pavilion. His grave is in Möglin Estate Park. A circular path leads to a marble bust of Thaer from 1978 and a large memorial stone with a bronze relief from 1856. The two dates refer to different memorials: the bust and the relief. For visitors with an interest in history, Möglin offers both an exhibition and memorial sites in the park. The estate park, together with the farmyard, manor house and inspector’s house, is a protected historic site.
Möglin Village Church: Fieldstone construction and reconstruction
Möglin Village Church is a rectangular fieldstone building; some of its older fabric dates from the late 16th century. In April 1945, the church was destroyed except for three of its perimeter walls. It was rebuilt between 1955 and 1962, and all of its interior furnishings were lost. Both the building’s history and its destruction are therefore part of the church’s story. The village church can be visited via the Thaer Memorial in Möglin. Visitors interested in historic buildings will find another way to explore local history here, distinct from the exhibition or Thaer’s memorials.
Swimming area at Reichenow Castle Lake
For time by the water, the swimming area at Reichenow Castle Lake offers a destination in its own right. It lies opposite the castle, on the southeastern shore of the forest lake and right at the edge of the village. Facilities include a wide sandy area, a sunbathing area, a jetty and a small diving tower. Access to the swimming area is via the path along the lake’s southeastern shore. Parking is available in the village and along the village street. These features make the swimming area a different kind of excursion destination from the castle and estate park: here, the shore and bathing area are the main attractions. Hotel Schloss Reichenow also has a park with access to the lake; this refers to the hotel park, not access to the swimming area.
Restaurant and choosing your vacation
The restaurant at Hotel Schloss Reichenow welcomes hotel guests and food lovers from the surrounding area. The castle kitchen focuses on regional, sustainable, fresh and hearty cuisine. The restaurant complements the area’s historic and scenic attractions. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider whether the castle and local history, Thaer’s life and memorials, the village church or the swimming area will be the highlight of your stay. This lets you choose the focus of your vacation based on the experiences that interest you in Reichenow-Möglin.
