history
Wedendorf Manor
The estate was owned by the von Bülow family from 1255 to 1679 . In 1679 Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff acquired the estate from Rittmeister August von Bülow.
At the time of the acquisition of Wedendorf, Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff was Princely-Braunschweigisch-Lüneburg Privy Councilor, later Minister of Hanover and first head of the German Chancellery under King George I of England . In 1715 he received from Emperor Karl VI. the baron dignity.
In 1679 he had the castle built. The name of the builder has not been passed down, but an outline (pencil drawing) of the courtyard front has been preserved. It was a two-story building with three-story side wings and a hipped mansard roof . A flight of stairs led to the main portal, which was decoratively emphasized by pilasters and segmented gables . The castle is located on Wedendorfer See , on the opposite bank of which Andreas Gottlieb acquired the village of Groß Hundorf in 1690.
Wedendorf Castle
Wedendorf Castle was rebuilt by 1810 for the Prussian Chamberlain and Legation Councilor Ernst Graf Bernstorff into a classicist , three-storey mansion based on plans by Martin Friedrich Rabe . The facade structure and the room layout were changed.
The interior paintings were done in 1818 by the Italian painter Giuseppe Anselmo Pellicia .
The von Bernstorff family of counts was very interested in the collection of books in the library in Wedendorfer Castle for 150 years. In 1807 there were around 2500 volumes, in 1840 there were already 1700 volumes and in 1897 the number had grown to 6300. They were all cataloged in 1905 and are included in a book directory. On the subject of agriculture, with 1,419 book titles, there were 116 works of architecture.
In 1931 von Bernstorff had to sell the property to the Mecklenburg Landgesellschaft, which relocated the land and sold the manor house to the Lübeck merchant and consul Fritz Hagen.
After the Second World War, the castle served as refugee accommodation, then as a central school and in 1977 the FDGB took over the castle as a training center.
The conversion to a hotel was made in 1996.
