history

Alliance coat of arms of the Barner and Maltzahn families

Bülow was first mentioned in a document as early as 1262. It has been owned by the von Barner family through purchase and exchange since 1573 . The representative mansion is the result of several construction phases, the oldest of which may be in the 16th or 17th century. The Prussian officer Magnus Friedrich III. From 1742 to 1746 von Barner had a two-story baroque mansion built on top of older remains. The alliance coat of arms of the von Barner and von Maltzahn families dates from this time . It symbolizes the bond between the two noble families and was the gable triangle of the original central risalites. The baroque ballroom has been preserved on the upper floor with stucco lustro pilasters and stuccoed overhangs, which, among other things, symbolize the four seasons. In 1842 Heinrich Franz von Barner, who was provisional in the Dobbertin monastery until 1836 , had a fundamental renovation carried out. In line with contemporary tastes, the building was raised by a half- storey in the Italian neo-renaissance style and equipped with four striking corner towers. The further renovation in the years 1880 to 1890 mainly affected the interior areas. The entrance hall, on the other hand, was paneled with richly decorated oak elements. Old inscriptions can be found above the doors as over-portals, such as: Nothing German is foreign to us! Honor still goes over life! Only with God is peace!

For war purposes, the copper roof was replaced by a cardboard roof during the First World War. Between 1936 and 1938, brothers Magnus Friedrich and Carl Ulrich von Barner completely renovated and repaired all of the interiors. The 14 living rooms of the castle housed numerous historical furniture and valuable paintings. In front of the entrance were two old firecrackers (cannons) from 1668 from the Great Turkish War , which Emperor Leopold I had given his General Feldzeugmeister Christoph von Barner as a present. The von Barner family only used the castle on special occasions; their residence was the estate in Klein Trebbow .

Front view

Until 1945, in addition to the Klein Trebbow and Barner Stück estates , the Bülow estate was owned by Carl Ulrich von Barner. After the occupation by the troops of the Soviet Army , the castle served as their accommodation until August 1945. The furniture and furnishings were badly damaged, destroyed and transported away. After that, refugees lived in the manor house. During the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone , the estate was settled and most of the courtyard buildings were demolished. The castle became the center of the village and temporarily housed apartments, the consumer sales point, the kindergarten, a kitchen, the community office and a room for the doctor's consultation. The ballroom on the upper floor was now a cultural space and in 1968 got a new parquet floor and a stage. With the partial renovation of the building after 1971, it also received new windows. In 1990 the former castle became the property of the municipality of Bülow. After being vacant for a long time, it was sold in 2004, but unfortunately the condition continued to deteriorate afterwards. In the meantime, a new owner has started the renovation of the manor house in accordance with the listed buildings.

Others

The manor park was originally laid out as a baroque garden based on the French model and was converted into an English landscape park at the end of the 18th century and later relocated. After the Second World War, many trees were used as firewood and the family crypt in the park was also destroyed. There is a small pond in front of the manor house. In addition to the manor house, several listed stables have been preserved from the estate.
