In 1891, the estate was sold to the factory owner Hugo Sholto Graf Douglas from Aschersleben. He had the castle built from 1894 to 1896 according to the designs of the Berlin architect Gustav Stroh; the neo-Renaissance architecture follows the models of French Renaissance castles. The rectangular building is flanked by two towers with conical roofs. The east side of the building faces the Bodden. The dome of the tower, which is located in front of the entrance, towers above the two outer towers. The main building has a roofed courtyard. In 1913, the Marstall was added according to the design of the Stralsund master builder Franz Juhre.
The landscape park was created in 1810 and extended around 1900. The largely preserved interior (entrance hall, staircase, panelling, door handles, stained glass windows) was partly designed by the important Art Nouveau architect Henry van de Velde.In 1939, the castle was expropriated, the Bodden became a war port, and the Douglas Castle became a casino. After the Second World War, the castle was used as a home for the elderly and later as a home for the disabled and nursing home of the German Red Cross. From 1999 to 2002, the castle was converted into a hotel. |
