history

Manor house of Gut Tornow

Tornow is first mentioned in 1285. Up until this point it was owned by the Margraviate of Brandenburg , which transferred it to Pope Honorius IV that year . The Torneu mill is listed in the deed of donation . Honorius handed the property over to the Cistercian Order , who managed it from the Dünamünde monastery (today about twelve kilometers from Riga in Latvia ). Benedictines later took over from the Stolpe Tornow monastery before it came under the suzerainty of the Counts of Lindow-Ruppin . They sold the village and the surrounding lands in 1438 to Konrad von Lintorff , the bishop of Havelberg . His last successor in office, the Protestant administrator and Margrave of Brandenburg, Joachim Friedrich , sold it in 1560 to Melchior from the von Brunn family , who owned the village and estate until 1817. After several other changes of ownership, the von Dallwitz family bought the property in 1877 and managed it until 1945.

After the Second World War, the Soviet military administration expropriated the Tornow estate. In 1946, as part of the land reform, it divided a total of 645.7 hectares of land among 44 new farmers. In 1994 the von Dallwitz family bought back the manor house with the surrounding lands and began with the renovation of the property, which is still ongoing today.

Political Affiliation

In 1928 the village and manor district of Tornow were incorporated into the municipality of Sechzehneichen, which in 1973 became part of the municipality of Bantikow . This in turn came to the Wusterhausen / Dosse office in the course of the formation of offices in 1992. Since December 31, 1997, Tornow has been part of the municipality of Wusterhausen / Dosse.

The community and the later district of Tornow belonged to the Ostprignitz district from 1816 to 1952, to the Kyritz district from 1952 to 1993 (in the Potsdam district until 1990 , since then in the state of Brandenburg ) and since 1993 to the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district .

Attractions

Manor house and landscaped park

Back of the mansion

The mansion is a two - storey, el - axis plastered building with a classicistic plaster structure and a crooked hip roof . Major von Heidebrand, an officer of the Yellow Riders and son-in-law of the von Brunne family, who owned it at the time, had the manor house built between 1802 and 1805. After the expropriation, the Soviet military administration used the manor house as refugee accommodation from 1945. Until 1990, the manor house housed a kindergarten, a convenience store , a library, a post office and the mayor's office. Today it serves as a holiday farm with an attached organic farm. Peter Joseph Lenné redesigned the park of the manor house in 1862.

In the middle of the park is the manor church, which was built in the years 1827/1828 in the Italian neo-Gothic style on the site of two previous buildings. It is a small hall building made of brick, with the exception of the west facade. The unplastered west facade, framed by tower-like corner pillars, is designed as a show side. In the center there is a large double-door pointed arch portal . The original roof turret was removed around 1965; the bell hangs in a rack in front of the church. There are also four classical grave monuments to be seen there.

Inside the church there is a simple west gallery. The 17th-century windows on the long side are decorated with six small, round coats of arms. The pulpit altar with baroque pulpit clock , restored in 1996, was created in 1706. The five-sided basket is decorated with paintings of Christ and the Evangelists and a picture of the Lord's Supper , while Moses adorns the pulpit door. The origin of the capitals in front of the altar is unclear. The baptismal bowl is a copy of the Halberstadt Christmas bread bowl from the second half of the 11th century. It was created in Ilsenburg in the first third of the 19th century . The altar set was cast in Berlin during the same period. It goes back to a design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel .
