At that time it belonged to the Lords of Strehle, the owners of the Beeskow-Storkow domain, and formed a dense network of moated castles together with the other structures in the region.
Beeskow Castle is now a cultural and educational centre and hosts a wide range of exhibitions and events. Beeskow Castle also has something to offer in terms of cuisine: cucina verde looks forward to delighting its guests with regional and local dishes.
