The Auerose castle, also manor Auerose, is a mansion in New Kosenow , district Auerose and is located about seven kilometers south of Anklam in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald .

history

After the Auerose estate passed from the von Schwerin family to the von Borcke family in the 18th century , Franz Alexander Friedrich Wilhelm von Borcke had a representative mansion built in the neo-Gothic style in 1848/1849 . In 1902 the building was reshaped in neo-baroque style - with Art Nouveau echoes - and the corner tower was built.

In 1945 the von Borcke family was expropriated as part of the land reform . Apartments were set up in the manor house and several families lived in the house until the fall of the Wall . Privately owned since 1992, the building has only been partially restored.

building

The manor is a square, two-storey plastered with a high basement ( basement built) and a northeastern corner tower with a curved hood. The main facade on the south side is ten axes with a two-axis center risalit . This has an ogival double portal and an elaborate frontispiece with ox-eye . The driveway in front of the facade is double-run.

The entrance hall extends over two floors and is decorated with rich wood carvings from the time it was built.
