Landscape park

Designed in 1903 by Walter Schott in the Art Nouveau style, it was originally created for the fountain courtyard of the Wertheim department store in Berlin and presumably brought to Burg Schlitz by Emil Georg von Stauß in 1932. The fountain depicts three approximately life-size bronze nymphs dancing around the water feature on a sandstone trough. Also known as the "Fountain of the Dancing Maidens," it is undoubtedly a jewel of the park. A replica of this fountain can be found in New York's Central Park.

In the immediate vicinity of the Nymph Fountain is the elaborately restored Caroline Chapel, which Hans Count von Schlitz dedicated to his mother-in-law, Countess Caroline von Schlitz-Goertz. It can accommodate 70 people for church weddings.

 36 monuments that Count Schlitz had erected in memory of his family, writers and especially beloved people of his life and thought: obelisks, columns, grottos and lakes.

You also shouldn't miss the breathtaking view from the mystical Röthelsberg overlooking Lake Malchin.

Around 200 years after Count von Schlitz significantly changed the face of Mecklenburg Switzerland with the extensive landscape park of Burg Schlitz , featuring special memorial stones, obelisks and stone arrangements according to his ideas and not least culturally shaped it, a sculpture trail leading freely into the landscape was created starting from the park of Burg Schlitz.

Driven by a shared passion for spatial design and a love for the Mecklenburg landscape, artists Wilfried Duwentester and Bernd Uiberall have been working in Görzhausen, in the immediate vicinity of Burg Schlitz, for over eight years. Their project, "Sculpture Trail Burg Schlitz - Görzhausen," takes up the Count's original idea and translates it into an encounter with contemporary sculptures. The sculptures "live" in the open landscape, interacting with nature and the existing cultural context. The sculptures and objects are positioned at prominent locations along the path from Burg Schlitz to Görzhausen and appear to be an integral part of the landscape. "We are not taking anything away, we are not changing the landscape. We are simply adding to it. The first step has been taken. The first sculptures have been installed... and the cows continue to graze." In accordance with this approach, the objects and sculptures have been integrated into the landscape.
