Turow Water Castle, with its oldest walls dating back to the 13th century, is much more than a historic building. It is a home for those seeking community, connection and a return to nature and simplicity.
Offering approximately 2,500 m² of total living and usable space across the main castle, charming outbuildings and well-preserved agricultural buildings, this estate provides room for self-determined living across generations.
The main building, covering around 1,248 m², forms the heart of the castle – a place for gathering and retreat. It comprises 15 rooms, currently featuring 12 renovated guest rooms with up to 38 beds. These are spread over two upper floors and the tower – ideal for large families, friends or housemates. Additionally, there is about 420 m² of attic space available for conversion, offering creative possibilities for extra bedrooms, studios or communal areas.
The cosy salons, the Blue Chapel adorned with approximately 300-year-old murals, the historic ballroom with Italian Renaissance stucco ceiling, picture gallery and parquet flooring, and the foyer with antique tiles – all create a home rich in atmosphere, history and stories.
For daily living, there is also a gatehouse of about 180 m² (already equipped with accessible bathrooms installed in 2022) and approximately 200 m² of expansion potential – perfect for separate living units, offices or apartments for friends and guests. The large barn (circa 424 m² plus upper floor), former granary (about 120 m²) and stable with lean-to roof extend the living space to workshops, storage or animal-assisted projects.
The estate sits on around 19 hectares of land, including about 13 hectares of mixed woodland (partly very old trees; mainly planted around 2001), pasture and around 4 hectares of enclosed castle courtyard with park, orchard and gardens. This provides ample opportunity for self-sufficiency, animal husbandry, nature education or simply the luxury of shared experience.
The existing infrastructure supports autonomous living:
A circa 100 kW oil heating system combined with a circa 50 kW wood gasifier (installed around 2018) and four large buffer tanks ensure reliable heating. A well approximately 40 metres deep enables independent water supply; the property is also connected to the public sewage system.
Turow Water Castle offers a lifestyle centred on genuine values: community, self-sufficiency, nature, creativity and togetherness. A place where history takes root and the future can grow – ideal for families who want to write new chapters together.
