Design Inspirations:
The Wolfsbeeren (Deadly Nightshade) suite draws inspiration from the striking hues of the nightshade plant that grows around the palace—deep purples, lilacs, and burgundy, accented with black for depth. Warm white walls and painted beams provide a cozy contrast, blending comfort with subtle drama.
Evoking an enchanting, witchy vibe, this suite combines the palace’s historical charm with a touch of mystical energy. It’s a space for those drawn to nature’s magic, where old-world elegance meets a modern, spiritual edge. The design reflects the dual nature of nightshade—its healing and dangerous qualities—woven into the suite’s aesthetic.
Julianna Maszałek, the "Good Witch of Osowa Sien," serves as inspiration for this suite. A local healer and herbalist, Julianna’s knowledge of plants like nightshade left a lasting impact on the region, influencing both Ossowski’s novels and the local lore. This suite channels her wisdom, offering a retreat that blends comfort with a hint of mystery and magic.
Historical Background:
Leonie Ossowski’s Wolfsbeeren (Deadly Nightshade) follows Rita as she navigates post-war East Germany, finding strength in the folklore and wisdom of figures like Julianna. This suite mirrors those themes, inviting guests to connect with nature and embrace resilience.
As Ossowski wrote: “Even in the darkest of times, the land remembers. There is healing in the roots, in the berries, in the hands of those who know where to look.” The Wolfsbeeren suite embraces this sentiment, offering a sanctuary where comfort meets the magic of nature and history.

Guests staying in the Wolfsbeeren Suite can bask in its cozy comfort while taking in the elevated views of the farm fields north of the castle, where fog rolls in majestically during fall and winter, transforming into golden rapeseed by early spring.
