Bandelin manor
The Bandelin manor , also known as Bandelin Castle , is a listed manor house in Bandelin in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district .
history
An older manor house was probably built in the 18th century under Felix Dietrich von Behr . It was destroyed in a fire on January 29, 1927. The art collection of the landowners was lost. In addition to works of art from China, Japan and Africa, there was a Gutenberg Bible insured for 500,000 Reichsmarks in the collection. By settling the damage, two insurance companies went bankrupt .
Felix Wilhelm von Behr-Bandelin had a new manor house built southwest of the old location with the insurance money in 1930. The von Behr family was expropriated after the Second World War in 1945 as part of the land reform . Refugees were housed for a short time. In 1946 the building was rebuilt and used as a children's home until 1999. After the sale to an investor, the manor house was extensively restored.
The partially renewed remains of the burned down older manor house were used as a school from 1945. This building now serves as a residential building.
building
The Bandelin manor is a neo-baroque plastered building with eleven axes . It was built on two floors over a high basement. The hipped roof is occupied by bat dormers . On the courtyard side there is a flat three-axis central risalit with an outside staircase , in the gable of which there is a cartouche with the coat of arms of the von Behr family. The risalit structured with colossal pilasters on the garden side emerges in a semicircle. It has a wide open staircase and a copper-clad domed roof .
The oval garden hall is located behind the risalit. The stairwell and various stucco ceilings have been preserved. In the former hunting room there are consoles designed as bears and coats of arms.
park
The landscape park extends south of the manor house and from there in an easterly direction. It is characterized by the elongated ponds with an island. It was created in the second half of the 18th century. There was a large stone grave there until 1920, which the local teacher Knuth dug up, today there are only small stones left, the large ones were safely smashed and used again. In its eastern part is the cemetery with the mausoleum for the von Behr family - today used as a cemetery chapel because the coffins were removed by the Soviet Army in 1945. Until 1954, the mausoleum contained two sculptures by the Italian Donatelli, which Count von Behr had brought back from his travels. In 1954 these were brought by the Kulturbund in Greifswald to the art institute of the university because their protection in Bandelin was no longer guaranteed.
