The manor house Burg Trechow is located in the Kurzen Trechow district on the south / east bank of Lake Trechower in the municipality of Bernitt in the west of the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The current complex was built in the early 19th century on the foundation walls and foundations of a medieval moated castle in the style of the early Renaissance ; the hipped roof building has two main floors with rectangular windows and a mezzanine floor with arched windows above . The original castle complex was one of the few knights 'seats in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania that survived the Thirty Years' War largely undamaged. In 2009 the building was protected as a cultural monument.
history
A former moated castle from the 12th century was replaced by a building made of stone masonry in the 16th century . Around 1800 to around 1814, a two-storey mansion with a high central projection in the partly early classical style was built on the foundations of hewn granite stone of its predecessor buildings . This was done while partially maintaining the early Renaissance style of the previous building. The stair tower and two of three Renaissance volute gables were torn down and the main roof was redesigned to form a hipped roof . The garden side is also given a classical exterior. The Schwerin stable master Johann von Plüskow was responsible for the renovation of the building.

Since the Middle Ages, the Trechow, Maltzahn , Plüskow and Oertzen families have been lords of the Trechow estate . From 1847 until the landlord Hennecke von Plessen was expelled from Plessen in 1945, Trechow Castle and the associated manor were owned by the von Plessen family . Under Soviet military occupation after the end of the war, the mansion was initially used as a Russian hospital and military commandant under Commandant Kazanovich; subsequently it became the prison branch of the Bützow correctional facility , for the internment of Soviet soldiers who had served in the Russian Liberation Army . From 1946 the building accommodated refugee families. In the period from 1959 to 1989, the rooms of Trechow Castle were used as LPG administration, community administration, sales point, community nurses' room, cinema, kindergarten, day nursery, culture room, restaurant and election office. The mansion was plundered in the period after the end of the Second World War; Among other things, the altar made in 1601 by Hans Gudewerdt the Elder , a study secretary by David Roentgen , a picture by Daniel Seghers from 1590, disappeared .
In 2005, the grandson of Hennecke von Plessen, Christian Schierning, was able to buy the manor house from the community and acquire parts of the former property.
