Today's palace square still gives an idea of the round layout of the former castle complex. Next to the Crooked House shines the impressive Renaissance castle. The castle is currently being renovated. The outer shell is finished, but the inside is still being built vigorously. It will be interesting to see with what concept the castle will be reopened.

The monastery was built in the 13th century as a Cistercian convent for virgins. After an eventful history, it is now owned by the "Klosterverein Rühn e.V.", which lovingly takes care of the facility and has brought life back to the place with a clever concept. Look at everything in peace and let yourself be pampered in the monastery tavern. You can find more information and the opening hours here: https://www.klosterverein-ruehn.de/de/kloster/verkoestigung.

A Renaissance castle was built in 1556 from a castle of Slavic origin, which also served as the seat of the Schwerin bishops. From 1760, this was partly used by the Friedrichs University of Bützow, which merged with the University of Rostock in 1789 and was thus dissolved in Bützow. Unfortunately, only a little of the ring-like castle complex has survived. Only the three-bay bishop's chapel, in which a local museum has now been set up, gives a hint of the past. In 1812, a central court moved here to investigate serious criminal offenses for all of Mecklenburg. After partial demolition and conversion from 1910 to the 1970s, it was mainly used for official housing, In the later GDR times, the building served as a cultural center, museum, library and music school. The castle has been renovated since 2011. In the course of the restoration, the library and the museum moved into the "crooked house".

Very impressive council building for such a relatively small town. But looks great.
