Schloss Meyenburg, located in the town of Meyenburg in Prignitz, is a former noble seat of the von Rohr family. Today, it is primarily used as a fashion museum. The castle has a rich history dating back to the 14th century when it was owned by the von Rohr family. It remained in their possession until 1945. The building itself is a two-story brick structure with two wings, shaped like an 'L'. It incorporates parts of the medieval city fortification of Meyenburg and dates back to the 15th century, with the rest of the building dating back to the 16th century.
Schloss Meyenburg currently serves multiple purposes. It is a fashion museum, showcasing a vast collection of 20th-century fashion from 1900 to 1970, collected by the East Berlin collector Josefine Edle von Krepl. In addition to the fashion museum, the castle also houses a castle museum and a public library. The library contains 10,000 media units available for loan. The diverse offerings of the castle make it a versatile destination for tourists with varying interests.
Both Schloss Meyenburg and its surrounding park are protected monuments. The park, which was designed by Berlin court gardener Fink in 1868, had become overgrown over the years but was restored in 1997. The park is bordered to the east by the Stepenitz river. The status of the castle and park as protected monuments ensures their preservation for future generations to enjoy.
