Hohendorf Castle
The Schloss Hohendorf is a neo-Gothic mansion in Hohendorf in Great Moor village , 15 km north of Stralsund in North Western Pomerania . The former aristocratic residence of the Counts of Klot-Trautvetter was last renovated in 2017-2019.
history
Wizlaw III. the last Slavic prince of Rügen gave land in Hohendorf to the Hup family in 1321. In the 15th century the von der Osten family bought some land and in the 17th century they owned the entire estate.
Gut Hohendorf has been owned by the von Klot-Trautvetter family since 1733 , established by the majorate of Johan Reinhold von Trautvetter († 1741). By inheritance it passed to his nephew Wilhelm Reinhold Freiherr von Klot, who added the names and coats of arms of those von Trautvetter to his title.
The castle as a mansion was designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the classicistic , Gothic style for Ernst Malte Freiherr von Klot-Trautvetter and built by Friedrich Hitzig in 1854 after his death . According to other sources, the castle was built either in 1840 or in 1858 and 1859 on the foundations of the previous mansion. Around 1900 the owners had the manor house redesigned again.
The estate included seven estates and around 2,500 hectares of land.
At the end of the Second World War , the castle was looted and the interior was destroyed. This was followed by the destruction of the keep during the GDR era. The rest of the castle was used as a retirement home during this time. After reunification, Hubertus Graf von Klot-Trautvetter (1929–2015) returned to the castle and bought it from the local government for one Deutsche Mark . The renovation began immediately afterwards and was completed in 1993.
In 2010/11 a person from Lübeck acquired the castle for 700,000 euros at a foreclosure auction . The company Rosehr-Projekte is converting the former castle hotel into a residential building with 33 apartments between 22 and 74 m². In addition, an event hall and a bar are to be built. In cooperation with the University of Rostock's promotion of gifted children, concerts with classical music are to take place in the castle.
