The manor house Vietgest is a manor house in Vietgest in the district of Rostock . The building, built in baroque style, was built for Johann Friedrich Boldt from 1792 to 1794 based on a design by Johann Friedrich Busch .

The Vietgest estate had been owned by the Oldenburg family since the 15th century . Johann Friedrich Boldt became the owner of Gut Vietgest and other properties in the area in 1786. A little later he had his mansion built from bricks.

In 1819, Boldt's heirs sold the estate and house to Cornelius Freiherr von Herzeele († 1830) for 246,000 Reichstaler . Two thirds of the price was estimated for the manor house. The estate inventory was auctioned from June 16 to 18, 1819. This included the livestock with 50 horses, 54 oxen, 220 cows and four bulls. In 1841, Prince Georg Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe , who already owned larger properties in the area (including in Gülzow , from 1896 also in Krümmel ), bought the estate. The Schaumburg-Lippe house , whose property in Mecklenburg totaled 6668 hectares, held the property until it was expropriated in 1945.

The house was used as a holiday home for the CDU after the Second World War . The first restoration work was carried out between 1985 and 1990, after which it was renovated and used as a hotel. In April 2013 it was bought by the forester and farmer Anders Tind Kristensen, who has already renovated the nearby Lübsee manor (also in the municipality of Lalendorf ) and uses it as a residential building. The castle is now for sale again (2019).

To the south of the mansion there is a large baroque park that stretches to Lake Ziest .

In 1766 Nugent himself had mentioned a "Herren von Weeckstern" (von Wenckstern?) As the owner of Vietgest. - Cf.
