Kampehl Castle is for sale: A piece of history for 1.8 million!

A very special property is for sale in tranquil Neustadt: the historic Kampehl Castle. Demand for original properties is high and the mansion could be a real bargain for one buyer or another.

This magnificent property, located next to the church where the mummified body of Christian Friedrich von Kahlbutz is displayed, was built around 1750 and has undergone several transformations since then. Particularly worth mentioning is the redesign by Princess Wanda Blücher von Wahlstatt in the 1920s, which gave the castle its special charm. Christian Friedrich von Kahlbutz, who died on November 2, 1702, is not only a historical figure, he also gives the place something mystical.

A look into the past

The castle has an eventful history. After the Second World War it served as an orphanage and later as a home for “difficult to educate” young people. In 2003, Reinhard Kort bought the castle and began a comprehensive restoration that gave the historic building its splendor again. Unfortunately, Kort passed away at the beginning of 2021, and now real estate agents from Berlin are looking for new buyers for this remarkable property.

The offering includes more than 20 rooms, including spacious living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, as well as impressive outbuildings. With a total of around 2,000 square meters of living space, 700 square meters of usable space and an extensive park of almost four hectares, where the legendary Schöller Festival took place until 2023, the castle offers enough space for creative ideas.

Financing & possible uses

The price for the property is around 1.6 million euros, but including additional costs of around 200,000 euros, the total price is around 1.8 million euros. For those interested, there are financing options that allow a monthly payment of around 6,000 euros. Mayor André Stimme expresses regret about the quiet surrounding the castle and is looking for new ideas for using the historic building.

The buyer has the option of renting out part of the castle or using it to its full extent themselves. There are already voices in the area calling for innovative uses of the property to revitalize its cultural heritage and history.
