Prillwitz Castle is a castle in Przelewice in the Powiat Pyrzycki in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .
history
In the 15th century, the town of Prillwitz came into the possession of von Schack . The last Schack on Prillwitz, Otto Friedrich Ludwig von Schack , initially leased the property and lived increasingly indebted in Berlin. In 1799 he sold the estate together with the Luisenhof (today: Lucin ) and Lindenbusch (today: Ślazowo ) farms to August Heinrich von Borgstede . After the birth of an illegitimate son with Victoire von Crayen, the daughter of the famous Berlin salonnière Henriette von Crayen , who decided to marry, von Schack shot himself before the wedding in September 1815. This event forms the basis for Fontane's story Schach von Wuthenow .
August Heinrich von Borgstede introduced the strike economy and separated the estate and farming country. Even before the Prussian peasants' liberation , he offered the farmers the leased farms for sale in 1811. From 1802 Borgstede bred merino sheep and thus founded the Pomeranian merino sheep breeding. In 1804 the New Vorwerk, later called Augustthal , was founded with a brick factory. After renovation work on the estate, stables, barns and the dairy were located on an avenue of lime trees that led along the central axis of the farm yard into the tree-lined courtyard of the manor house. The new mansion was built according to plans by Heinrich Gentz .
In 1821, Prince August of Prussia acquired the estate as equipment for his daughter Malwine. Her mother, August's second partner Auguste Arend , was raised to the Prussian nobility in 1825 as Frau von Prillwitz . The mausoleum of the von Prillwitz was decorated by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and probably also planned by him.
The estate came to Conrad von Borsig via the Pomeranian Settlement Society . After the National Socialists came to power, he withdrew to Prillwitz and devoted himself to transforming the park into a forest botanical garden . He planted Sudeten larches in the Prillwitz Forest , thereby proving that these sensitive trees from the Sudetes can also be used in the lowlands to form a high forest. Conrad von Borsig was shot dead by Soviet soldiers in his manor at the end of the war.
After 1945, now under Polish Communist rule, the estate was hardly looked after. After reunification, the manor house came into the possession of the municipality in 1993, which had the manor house restored with financial help from the European Union. Today it serves as an education center, café and hotel.
architecture
The two-storey building has a protruding central projectile with a portal niche surrounded by Ionic columns. A relief with a scene with Demeter can be seen above the portal .
park
The park was created in 1802 and extends east of the estate in a north-south direction. The park also included agricultural land. Today the park is a regionally known dendrological garden ( Ogród Dendrologiczny w Przelewicach ).
