In the 14th century the knight Johannes Storm had the Grossenhof moated castle built. In 1445, Helmold von Plesse zu Arpshagen acquired Grossenhof from Heinrich Kulebuss. In 1455 his brother, the knight Bernd von Plesse took over the castle. The next owners from the Plesse family were Kord, Wipert, Reimar, Stellanus, Christoph and Kuno. Until 1618, Großenhof Castle belonged to the Mecklenburg privy councilor, chancellery director and episcopal governor of Bützow , Volrad von Plesse; it was followed by his brother Henneke and his son Kuno. During the lordship of Kunos von Plesse, the half-timbered manor house was built on the remains of the former castle in 1660, which has been rebuilt several times over the years. Kuno's son, Kord Joachim, was the landlord at Großenhof until 1724.

In addition to Damshagen, Gut Großenhof was one of the ancestral domains of the von Plesse (n) family, which was formerly widely ramified in Klützer Winkel (in Mecklenburg the name Plesse was replaced by Plessen in the 17th and 18th centuries ).

In 1896 Christian Carl Friedrich and Andreas Friedrich Carl Schröder became owners of the manor house. After the war ended in 1945, the historic half-timbered house was initially used as a youth hostel. In the 2000s, the building came into private ownership. The half-timbered house was renovated under its current owner using only the old stones and is now presented as an ensemble, with a partially preserved medieval castle moat and castle wall as well as a brick extension (on the east gable).
