Manor house journey through Vorpommern
About 600 stone witnesses of the past remind us of former agricultural structures, the life of the Pomeranian lords and the eventful history of the Southern Baltic region. In Vorpommern you will find a region, where once many large, magnificent manors arose, from which the surrounding villages developed. Nowadays they build an entire manor house landscape, which is now filled with new life, ideas and passion for manors and castles. See for yourself!
Centres of rural hinterland
The influence of the numerous castles, manor houses and stately homes still characterises the typical structures of the manor villages in the rural area of Vorpommern today. The inhabitants were and still are closely connected to the estates. For this reason, more and more of the old walls are being renovated in accordance with the preservation order and filled with new life.
A typical manor village is Stolpe on the Peene river. Today the Stolpe manor house is a Relais & Châteaux Hotel and is known and awarded (1 Michelin star) for its first-class cuisine. Embedded in a unique natural setting, it is located in the Peene Valley River Landscape Nature Park, where you can experience the manor house landscape from the water on a paddle or a solar boat tour. And if you want to experience, how the poet Fritz Reuter once dined, visit the historic restaurant "Stolper Fährkrug".
