Gartow

Gartow has served as the seat of a local administrative district in what is now Lower Saxony since the late 17th century. It stands in the Wendland, beside Gartower See and close to the Elbe, whose floodplain landscapes form part of the Lower Saxon Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve. Schloss Gartow, a Baroque manor house associated with the von Bernstorff family, recalls the estate history that shaped the town. The wider Wendland is known for its Rundling settlements, villages traditionally arranged around a central green. The nearby former inner-German border remains an important part of the region’s recent past.
