history
The von Eickstedt family has owned the estate since 1579 . The first owner was Valentin von Eickstedt (1527–1579). He was Chancellor of the Pomerania-Wolgast government, Privy Councilor , Governor of Wolgast and Ueckermünde . He was also a co-owner of the Damitzow and Clempenow ( Rothenklempenow). In 1579 he was enfeoffed with the Coblentz and Krugsdorf estates because of his services as chancellor. The last owner from the von Eickstedt family was Hans Georg Dubslaff von Eickstedt (1860–1908). His father, Hans Benno Edmund von Eichstedt (1829–1894), is buried in the churchyard of the Krugsdorf Church, where the tombstone has been preserved to this day. Long succession and high debts caused Hans Georg Dubslaff von Eickstedt to sell the castle-like manor house Krugsdorf with all its possessions (774 hectare estate) in 1898. The property passed into the possession of the Heuer family, who remained childless and were forced to sell the property again in 1918.
The next owner was the trained wheelwright Johann Hintze, who moved from the Schwichtensee Vorwerk to Krugsdorf. At that time, the manor house was still a thatched half-timbered house. The surrounding workers' houses were thatched. During a summer thunderstorm, the thatched manor house burned down almost completely. Hintze had the castle built in its current form as a two-story plastered building. The construction work led from 1919 to 1921 u. a. a building contractor from Szczecin who went bankrupt due to inflation. The mansion was therefore nicknamed "The Castle for a Pound of Butter". The initials JH of the builder can be found above the portal of the castle.
Kurt Hintze, the son of Johann Hintze, took over the Krugsdorf family estate. After his death at the age of only 42, his wife took over the management of the large estate. After the Second World War , the property was expropriated.
After it was temporarily vacant, the manor house was used as a residence for refugee families. After 1948/49 the district took over the agricultural engineering property (LPG). The manor house was used by the LPG and as a school. In 1966 the school started for the 5th – 8th grade. Grade level in the manor castle. From August 1972 to 1974, all school lessons (1st to 8th grade) were carried out.
In December 1985 Sabine and Eberhard Kloth (as tenants) took over the restaurant in the old castle. In 1990 it became the property of Jan Brozius from Uelzen. Furthermore, the Kloth family were tenants in the manor house until 1999. Brozius converted the castle into a hotel. The castle hotel was opened on July 23, 1992. In order to accommodate the increasing number of guests, an additional bed and breakfast hotel was built in 1993, which was taken into use in the spring of 1994. In 1999 the castle hotel went bankrupt and was then empty.
In 2004, JA Fernhout bought the castle hotel and began renovating the building in 2005. A golf course was built by 2009. Subsequently, the castle was further refurbished from winter 2009 and the dependance from spring 2010. The interior was built according to plans by interior designer Thally van Beyeren. The Schlosshotel Krugsdorf was opened on May 29, 2010.
