Good Nustrow
The Good Nustrow is a listed former estate in Nustrow in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . The facility is located on the northern edge of the village. Today the castle houses a hotel.
Building description
The mansion is a classicist , rectangular building with an east-west orientation. In the east of the north facade and thus on the side facing away from the street, the narrow, two-storey wing extends northwards, which has remained from the older building fabric. About one as a basement shaped cellar with granite base are two full floors. The facade is designed with eleven window axes with rectangular lattice windows. Two barely protruding southward risalits at the edges of the structure each comprising three window axes. The original entrance with a representative, two-flight external staircase leads to the right (eastern) risalit. Another entrance with a single external staircase in the left risalit was created later. The facade plaster has a cornice band above the cellar and small ledges above the windows. The once powerfully designed tooth frieze on the eaves is no longer present on the street facade. The side facade was designed with lunettes above the windows on the upper floor of the side facades, which were bricked up in the meantime, but are now restored. Kymatien adorn the lunettes. The roof is shaped as a cripple hipped roof , that of the side wing as a simple gable roof.
The eastern part of the main house is defined on the inside of the ground floor by the entrance hall divided by three columns. A ballroom dominates the western half of the building. The most striking feature of these rooms is the largely preserved parquet, which is artfully patterned with two-tone woods. The ballroom also has a well-preserved ceiling painting with sphinx and griffin motifs .
The estate's park features, among other things, an avenue of lime trees that has been preserved to this day, as well as several older individual trees. From the surrounding farm buildings they have received a pheasantry and the round building of an apiary; both in half-timbered construction from the end of the 19th century. The pigsty was demolished, the orangery and several farm buildings were so heavily rebuilt that their original character can no longer be recognized.
Previous buildings
By the 15th century at the latest (first mentioned in 1425), Nustrow was owned by the von Behr family . It is unclear when the Behrs built their first castle there. What is certain, however, is that this castle was razed in 1420 during a feud between troops from the cities of Greifswald and Stralsund . The successor building, already with the character of a castle instead of a castle, but still with moats, was built at the beginning of the 16th century. In 1794 Georg Christoph von Behr sold the estate and the village of Nustrow to the Schack family . At that time the castle was in a very poor state of construction. Nevertheless, the new owners seem to have lived in the complex, as the former Danish courtier Engel Karl Ernst von Schack (* 1750) died there in 1811. His son Ernst Peter von Schack (1783–1842), Mecklenburg Landdrost since 1813 , had the old castle torn down in 1830. Only the foundation walls and a newer wing, which had been built before 1800, remained.
The Behr coat of arms was located above the entrance to the castle. The Behrs of the Rügen line had founded their own Behr-Nustrow branch here, based in Nustrow, with the other possessions of Grammow, Breesen, Nütschow, Lübchin and Stassow.
The moats of the castle-like structure were filled in with the earth from the leveled ramparts before 1825.
history
The construction of the new mansion under Ernst Peter von Schack was completed by 1837 at the latest. The complex is attributed to the architect Carl Theodor Severin , but this cannot be proven beyond doubt. The estate was alldified in 1907 . Hans Emeke Karl Arthur von Schack sold the mansion in 1912 to the cavalry officer Prömmel, commander of the Parchim dragoon regiment . Prömel was murdered in 1945 by soldiers of the Red Army together with his daughter in the pigsty on the estate. Her grave in the park of the castle is now marked with a boulder. In the GDR the property served as a residential and community center. The grandson of the last landowner, Klaus Prömmel, leased the estate with its approximately 800 hectare farm in 1991 and bought the manor house from the Ticino housing association in 1998.
