history
The manor house was first mentioned around 1457, when Duke Erich II of Pommern-Wolgast, together with his brother Wartislaw X., gave the property to the abbot of Neuenkamp monastery , where the town of Franzburg is today .
The tall building was erected in 1607 in the Renaissance style on the vault of a castle from the 13th century for the ducal-Pomeranian councilor and chancellor Erasmus von Küssow.
In 1723 it was expanded and converted into a baroque hunting lodge . The lords of the manor were the Counts of Küssow , who owned the estate until 1824. During the Swedish times in Pomerania , King Karl XII. from Sweden often as a hunting guest in Quitzin. The Teutonic Order litigated from 1824 to 1841 about the estate of the last Küssow.
In the second quarter of the 19th century, Countess von Küssow had an eccentric bathhouse built in the park by the Schinkel student and Greifswald university building inspector CAP Menzel , which was unique in Western Pomerania and of which only the foundations have been preserved.
In 1908, Küssow's heirs sold Quitzin to the Prussian chamberlain Werner von Veltheim . In 1937 his son, Burghard von Veltheim , was expropriated and until 1945 an SS military training camp was located here.
The manor was relocated from 1945. The building was initially a refugee camp. The villagers celebrated their parties in the hunting hall, and the library was converted into a bar. From 1971 to 1990 the civil defense of the GDR used the building as a warehouse. The house was poorly renovated in 1972, the windows were partially walled up or fitted with iron bars and the mansard roof of the main building was replaced by a flat roof. Decorations on the facade have been removed. Around 1988/89, the forest administration had the 150-year-old avenue of chestnut trees cut down and planted alders, larches and spruces in the park.
Burghard Rübcke von Veltheim (grandson of the last owner, Burghard von Veltheim ) and his wife Friederike, b. Freiin von Blomberg , acquired the main house after 1990 with the corresponding renovation requirements. The two gentlemen's houses followed . Most of the ensemble was saved by them - also with the help of the German Foundation for Monument Protection - in over 25 years of construction work. The hunting lodge, which has been used as a civil marriage since 2009, is now used as the family's B&B hotel and home.
Castle chapel

In the manor complex, in front of the main house, there is the small castle chapel, a plastered brick building built in 1614, the core of which could have been earlier. The eastern yoke is provided with buttresses . The east gable is made of half-timbered construction, the compartments are plastered. On it is a wooden suspension for the bell, which dates from 1856. The western gable was completely rebuilt in brick in the 19th century. The west and south portals are ogival . The chapel has wooden arched windows that are framed by cleaning bottles . During the restoration after 1990, the exterior of the chapel was given a shell limestone plaster.
Inside, the building has a cell vault in the choir bay and a plastered wooden barrel in the nave . There are two rectangular wall niches in the east wall.
The interior of the castle chapel includes a sandstone altarpiece from 1616, which was probably the base of a larger reredos and bears the coat of arms of the von Küssow and von Blücher families, the owners at the time. The building also has a pulpit with Renaissance carvings, a crucifix from the 14th century, a lectern from 1714 and an octagonal font from the second half of the 19th century. The latter was originally located in the village church of Rolofshagen . The stalls date from the first half of the 18th century.
The churchyard is surrounded by a stone wall. On it is a grave stele from 1746.
The former palace chapel is occasionally still used by the church, for example for weddings and baptismal services.
