The Gutshaus Barkow is the manor house of the former estate in Barkow near Plau am See. Barkow is a district of the municipality of Barkhagen .
The Barkow Manor is a single-storey building with a two-storey mansard roof . On the south side it has a dwelling that rises above the entrance porch. The building was built in 1913 by the Hülße family, it was planned by an architect Schmuck from Hamburg. It replaced the previous building from the 18th century. This house was a half-timbered building in the style of farmhouses, similar to the rectory in Barkow, which still exists today. Unlike the previous building, the new building was not facing the courtyard to the west, but facing south.
The Barkow estate was a sovereign domain that was given a long lease in the 1860s . After a few years the farm came into the possession of the Bethge family in 1874 and later moved to the Hülße family, who are related to them. In 1945 the family was expropriated and expelled as part of the so-called land reform. The manor house then served as refugee accommodation and was placed on the list of manor houses intended for demolition by the state government (in accordance with SMAD order no. 209 ). At the instigation of residents of Barkov, however, it was used as a school from 1949. After the school closed in the mid-1970s, it was used, among other things, as a holiday home, consumption and LPG office. In 1992 the Hülße family was able to buy back the manor house and renovated it. Since then it has been used as a hotel.
At the beginning of 2003, due to a technical defect, there was a roof truss fire, in which the upper attic floor burned out completely. By deploying several fire brigades with more than 60 emergency services, the fire could be prevented from spreading to the rest of the building. Large parts of the manor house were nevertheless affected by fire and extinguishing water. After the subsequent renewed renovation and modernization, the hotel was reopened.
