history
In 1574, Duke Ernst Ludwig von Pomerania had the former abbey of the secularized Pudagla Monastery expanded as a widow's residence for his mother, Duchess Maria von Sachsen (1515–1583) . The ducal office of Pudagla was administered from the castle. The last ducal governor was Christoph von Neuenkirchen .
After the extinction of grasping Dukes was Pomerania in the Peace of Westphalia under Sweden and Brandenburg split. The Pudagla office became a royal Swedish chamber property . Even after her abdication, Pudagla was one of Queen Christina's table goods . The governor Peter Appelmann , who temporarily held the title of "Governor of the Queen's domains", sat at Pudagla Castle until 1668 .
With the official transition of the island of Usedom to Prussia , Pudagla became the property of the Prussian crown. From 1731 until the transformation into a rent office in 1824, Pudagla was the seat of the general tenant and bailiff .
The house has been used as a restaurant since GDR times.
