history

Kulpin was first mentioned in a document in 1228 and is a Slavic foundation. In the Middle Ages, Kulpin was the seat of a castle belonging to the Lauenburg noble family von Culpyn / Kulpin, where the Kulpin estate can now be found. It was owned by the von Schrader family from 1697 to 1919 and then passed to the von Keizer family, who own it to this day. It was built in 1696 as a simple two-story half - timbered house . It has had a classicist facade since the 19th century .

The place name is derived from the Wendish word for swan . This is also shown on a boulder in the center of the village. The swan has served as a symbol for the Kulpin community to this day.
