Putbus Palace

Putbus Palace (German: Schloss Putbus) is a former neoclassical palace in Putbus, on the isle of Rügen in Germany. It was the seat of the princes of Putbus and the Putbus family in the city they founded in 1810, Putbus, which is also known as the White city of Rügen. During the communist period in East Germany, the palace was demolished in 1962 due to political reasons, and the remains were removed by 1964. Today, the outline of the building in the green space and the lakeside terrace are still visible. In 2019, an association was founded for the reconstruction of the palace. A feasibility study was presented in November 2023, and the association is now raising public awareness and raising funding. Putbus palace is also known as the palace behind the elderberry grove (German: Das Schloss hinter dem Holunderbusch).
