history

For the first time in 1233 Alt Karin is mentioned as a parish, it belongs to the archdeaconate Rühn. The newly established Sonnenkamp Monastery also received income from four Hufen in the village. In 1240 a memorial foundation was established by a knight Hartwig Metzeke from Alt Karin in the Sonnenkamp monastery. From 1344 the Barnekow family owned Alt Karin and Altenhagen, they acquired the highest jurisdiction and the levies. At the end of the 14th century until the middle of the 15th century, Karin's family owned and rights besides the Barnekows. In 1459/63 the von Bibow family acquired the assets of both long-established families. They had had the church fief since 1388, but lost it again to the sovereign in 1569, as only a certain line was entitled to inheritance. In 1621 the von Bibow bought it again from Duke Adolf Friedrich I for 2,300 guilders. From 1656 to 1680 the von Zülow family owned the estate as heirs. The church patronage remained uninterrupted. Later the estate and patronage changed several times, including Karl Leonhard Müller von der Lühne as the owner . In 1749 it was determined that the patronage of the church was being exercised without authorization and Duke Christian Ludwig II took it back. In the 19th century, the property changed hands frequently.
