The manor house Vanselow is a manor house in the district Vanselow of the municipality Siedenbrünzow in the district of Mecklenburg Lake District .

history

Since the 13th century Vanselow belonged to the estates of the Osten castle on the Tollense, the name of which probably goes back to the von der Osten family . According to documents, the knight Henning von Winterfeld was in possession of these goods between 1326 and 1330 . Possibly through the marriage of Ludolf von Moltzan with Henning's daughter, the Ostensche fief came to the von Maltzahn family , for whom the fiefdom has been documented since 1356. Only in the period from 1654 to 1731 Vanselow was again owned by other noble families such as von Mardefelt , von Winterfeld and von Bohlen .

During the heyday of the Vanselower estate in the second half of the 19th century under Hans Ludwig von Maltzahn , the new mansion was built by Georg Daniel from 1870 to 1871 . Construction work ceased during the Franco-Prussian War . The completed mansion could only be moved into in October 1872.

At the end of the Second World War , the mansion was looted and later expropriated. After more than a hundred refugees were initially housed here, the Vanselow community set up apartments in GDR times. In 1990, Mortimer Freiherr von Maltzahn, the heir of the last owner until 1945, was able to acquire the manor house and the park. After completion of the renovation, which began in 1991, a hotel was set up in the house, which was closed in 2003. Today Jaspar von Maltzahn and his family use the manor house privately as the center of a farm.

architecture

Park side

The Mecklenburg, still district master builder, Georg Daniel erected a two-and-a-half-storey classical plastered building on an H-shaped floor plan above a high basement. The regularly structured main facade of nine axes is emphasized by a three-axis central projection , in whose gable the coats of arms of the client Hans Ludwig von Maltzahn and his wife Agnes Alice née. of gaps from the house of Zahrensdorf (1841–1930). The plastered building has storey and sill cornices . In addition to the plaster ashlars, the joint cut plaster, a strong console cornice on the eaves and various lintels, there are numerous late classicist ornaments. The plasterers who made the ornaments on the facades and inside probably came from Italy.

The bright rooms are arranged around an elliptical spiral staircase in the center of the clearly structured house.
