Granitz Hunting Lodge
Jagdschloss Granitz
A Neo-Renaissance hunting lodge on a hilltop in the woods south of Binz, with a cast-iron spiral staircase in the central tower as its main highlight.
The lodge was built between 1837 and 1846 for the Prince of Putbus. Its central observation tower, 38 metres high, was designed by Schinkel. Inside it, a 154-step openwork cast-iron spiral staircase leads to the top, where you get 360-degree views over the bays and forests of southeast Rügen. The interior displays the princely family's hunting hall and furniture. Tickets cost about €8 to €10. You can take the Crazy Roland to Granitz station and walk about 20 minutes, or take the Jagdschlossexpress sightseeing train up from Binz.
