Criewen estate
The Criewen estate is located in Criewen , a district of Schwedt / Oder in Brandenburg . The manor complex, consisting of a manor house, the farmyard, the manor park or Lenné park with gardener's house and tool shed, is a listed building.
history
Already in the Middle Ages there were four knightly seats here, but it is not known where they were. That is why the history of today's manor complex can only be traced from the beginning of the 18th century. After the estate was withdrawn from the von Stegelitz family in 1707, it was given away by King Friedrich I to the valet Daniel von Luck. His family built a mansion in 1746. Since there were no descendants of the von Lück family, the estate was given to the Royal War Council Crüger in 1761. He passed the property on to his daughter as a wedding present.
In 1816 Otto von Armin-Gerswalde acquired the estate and it became the headquarters of the new Arnim-Criewen family branch. He converted the estate with the entire place. So the place was relocated about 500 meters to the northeast under protest of the residents. The mansion was completely rebuilt from 1818 to 1823. The side wings were probably added around this time. The farm yard, the nursery and the park were built around this time. In 1877 Bernd von Arnim-Criewen became landlord. He redesigned the mansion around 1900. From 1910 the mansion was further rebuilt, among other things, the hipped roof became a mansard roof.
From 1945 the youngest member of the Arnim-Criewen family lived in two rooms in the castle, the rest was occupied by refugees. From 1954 a vocational school for agriculture with boarding school was located here. After the reunification , the manor house was used as a country school home. After the renovation from 1997 to 2002, the Brandenburg Academy of Criewen Castle used the manor house. There are also nature conservation institutions in the house.
The mansion
The mansion is a three-wing complex. The central building consists of a two-storey building with a mansard roof, the single-storey side wings were added later. Today's main view of the Alte Oder is characterized by the three-axis entrance risalit with a portico with four columns. There is an arbor with three balcony doors above the pillars. In the triangular gable of the risalit is the coat of arms of the von Arnim-Criewen family. There are bat dormers in the mansard roof. The side facing the Oder has eleven axes, that to the park has nine axes. The park side is also characterized by a central projection. Inside, the furnishings are essentially from the last quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
The manor
The manor is located east of the manor house. There is a warehouse at the corner of Am Speicher and Bernd-von-Armin-Straße. It was built after 1816 in the style of Prussian agriculture. It is a two-storey building on a square floor plan and with a tent roof. The corners and central axes are emphasized with pilaster strips . To the southwest of it is the former horse stable. It is a brick building with a high pitched roof. The Natura 2000 house is located here today. To the south-west of it is the coachman's apartment with a coach house. On the gable roof is a roof tower for a possible servant bell. The former cattle shed is located northwest of the storage facility. The visitor center of the Lower Oder Valley National Park is located in this building .
South of the corner of Grüner Weg and Am Speicher, and thus north of the manor house, is the manor gardening facility and its buildings. Today the facility is used as an ecological show and teaching garden. The nursery consists essentially of a tool shed, gardener's house, seed house, an ice cellar and a water tower. The tool shed is designed like a chapel, it was built around 1822. Like the tool shed, the gardener's house was built from field stone. The water tower has an octagonal floor plan and was built from brick. The ice cellar is used to store blocks of ice from the Oder in order to cool food in summer. It is a field stone building with about one meter thick walls. The seed house was only built in 1884. The nursery includes a pump house on the canal, which supplied the water tower with water. Inside there is a still functional pump from 1920.
The estate park
The village was relocated around 1816 and the design of the manor park began. However, there was probably a park northwest of the manor house as early as 1770. From 1822 the manor park was designed. The plans came from Peter Joseph Lenné . The village church, an old village linden tree and the remains of the baroque park were included in the park. The park was changed around 1850, and Lenné provided the plans for that too. From 1894 the Alte Oder was diked and the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Wasserstraße created, thus changing the bank area. After 1945 the park was used by farms and allotments. A district heating pipe was laid through the park. From 1965, the park was protected under the GDR State Cultural Act. So from 1970 the park was maintained again, from 1990 this maintenance work was intensified.
The park surrounds the manor house on three sides, with the manor in the northeast. In the west the park is visually connected by orchards, in the east there are lines of sight to the Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthaler Wasserstraße. In the south there are foothills of the woods towards the Oder valley, to the southwest there is a pond. There are also some meadows in the park.
