Prebberede was first mentioned in 1228 as Priberaze, as Duke Wartislaw III. von Pomerania in Demmin awarded the village of Prebberede to the church in Polchow . In 1296 and 1311 the knight Johann von Büren and the squires Dietrich and Hermann von Büren sold their farmers in Prebberede the field, the mill, a wood and the peat bog. The village and estate were then owned by the von Bassewitz family from 1395 to 1945 .

The manor complex on the eastern edge of the village comprised the manor house, the two stables, the barns and stables, the manager's house and the forge. Until 1841, there was also a stud in Prebberede. The former nine-hectare baroque park was transformed into a landscape park around 1800, some old park structures are still recognizable.

architecture

From 1772 to 1778, Carl Friedrich Graf von Bassewitz had the imposing manor house built by the builder Sidon from Güstrow. The construction costs at that time amounted to 5225 thalers in gold. Some of the building material came from the estate of the von Bassewitz families. The oak trunks for the half-timbered work on the upper floors and the roof structure. The bricks were also made in the estate's own brick factory. It is not known whether the filigree stucco work on the ceilings and walls was made by wandering Italian plasterers.

For a village that then only consisted of the Dorfstrasse and the former estate, it had become a masterpiece of baroque architecture in the surrounding area.

The broad, two-storey exposed brick building has a high mansard roof, behind which two more storeys are hidden. The attic floor can be recognized by its standing dormer windows and round gable windows. Four beautiful, restored chimneys adorn the ridge of the mansard roof. The size of the house with eleven axes 40 meters wide and seven axes 21 meters deep is very rare in Mecklenburg. The walls of the stately building have a thickness of 90 centimeters up to 1.50 meters. The north and south sides of this structure are defined by a three-axis central projection with triangular gables. The plastered pilasters as wall columns are provided with capitals carved from sandstone . In each of the two central projections there are four of these pilasters, which separate the large arched windows. On the north side, in the triangular gable, there is a double coat of arms of the von Bassewitz family.

In contrast to the façade, which already had classicist features, the interior of the building was furnished in the elaborate forms of the baroque . This includes an asymmetrical, single-flight staircase that is rare of its kind. The oak staircase is turned three times and has a beautiful railing. The artfully designed ballroom is located on the first floor. This 86 square meter and five meter high room is lavishly decorated on the walls and ceiling with stucco ornaments from the Rococo. In addition to stucco as a wall design, the wallpapers used to be stretched on canvas in the living rooms. The former living quarters are 4.15 meters high. The 76 square meter kitchen was also on the ground floor. In the years from 1859 to 1860, the manor house with the ballroom was restored.

Overall system

The mansion is surrounded by a park. The small neo-Gothic grave chapel as a family crypt of the von Bassewitz family was built between 1861 and 1862 based on designs by Hermann Willebrand . The design of the medieval chapel in Althof near Doberan was probably used as a model . The von Bassewitz family's coat of arms also adorns the chapel, which is dated 1862. After the redesign of the entire complex into a vacation and holiday resort, the chapel was also converted into a place to stay as a historical burial place.

After 1945 the listed mansion was used by the community for residential purposes. Restoration work was carried out in 1959/60 and 1984. After 1990 the Leyh family acquired the manor house with the outbuildings and the park and had extensive renovation work carried out. Today there are four holiday apartments inside the building and concerts and lectures are held in the restored rococo hall with its rich stucco ornaments.
