The Boldevitz estate had been owned by the von Rotermund family since the 13th century . Under Claus von Rotermund the core of the manor was built around 1600, District Administrator Philipp von Rotermund had it rebuilt in 1635 or 1655/58. Allegedly, the stones of the church of the village Marschenholz, which was closed in 1550, were used for this. When the family with Caspar Detlef von Rotermund died out in the male line in 1712, ownership passed to his son-in-law, the Swedish general Carl Gustav Graf Mellin . In 1744 the estate came to the von Putbus family .

In 1762 the government councilor Adolf Friedrich von Olthof acquired the estate, who gathered a group of relatives and friends here and was active as a patron of the arts. He brought the young and at that time largely unknown landscape painter Jakob Philipp Hackert to Boldevitz, who made six large-scale landscape wallpapers between 1762 and 1764. For the first time, motifs from the Rügen landscape were also shown. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , who published a biography of Hackert in 1811, mentioned the estate under the name "Bolwitz" . During this time, the two side wings and the park were also added. After the bankruptcy proceedings against Olthof were opened in 1777, the estate was sold to the von der Lancken family in 1780 . In 1784 further modifications took place.

It owned this since the 18th century under the name Lancken-Wackenitz , from 1938 as Lancken-Wackenitz-Albedyll until the family was expropriated as part of the land reform in 1945. After the Second World War , refugees were housed in the house. Agriculture was continued as a state-owned estate , the manor house served as the administrative seat and cultural center. A kindergarten and 12 apartments were later set up.

After the reunification , the property was privatized. In 1993 the von Wersebe family began restoring the estate ensemble. All additions to the manor house that were built after the 18th century have been removed. The landscape wallpapers that were moved to the Granitz hunting lodge during the GDR era have been restored in Dresden .

The manor house Boldevitz is also used for tourism today, side wings and outbuildings are available as holiday apartments and the chapel for weddings. Under the name “Gut Rodewitz”, the manor house is also a film set for a sideline for the television series “ Hallo Robbie! "

building

The central building dates from around 1600 and is a three-story, five-axis plastered building on an approximately square floor plan. The first redesign took place in the middle of the 17th century. The two parallel gable roofs, the curved volute gables of which are divided by vertical double cornices, are unique for Rügen today. The similarly designed mansion in Üselitz was ruined during the GDR era, but is to be rebuilt. From 1783 Christian Friedrich von der Lancken had the house extended by the two two-story, five-axis side wings, the alliance coat of arms above the courtyard-side main portal on the first floor reminds of this conversion.

park

The estate park, which was laid out in the 17th century, was transformed into an English landscape garden with a swan pond in the 19th century. Its size is about eleven hectares. Access from the north was through a gate crowned by lions, the plate gate leading into the park from the south was reconstructed in 2011.

In the park there is a classical chapel built in 1839 with a flat gable roof and a retracted apse. It replaced a previous building from 1655.
