Wustrow Manor House on Tollense Lake
In 1501 Bernd Moltzan was enfeoffed by the Duke of Mecklenburg with the lordship of Penzlin, followed four years later by his enfeoffment with the neighboring Prillwitz estates, to which among others Wustrow belonged.
Wustrow remained in the hands of the von Moltzan/Maltzan family into the next generations, until in 1629 it went bankrupt and was taken over by the creditors of Bernd Lüdtke von Maltzan. However, in the middle of the 18th century Freiherr [Baron] Joseph von Maltzan managed to bring some of the old Maltzan estates around Penzlin back into the family. He therefore enjoyed an extensive estate complex, which consisted among others of Neuhof, Bauhof, Lübkow, Siehdichum, Werder, Wustrow, Krukow, Peckatel, Brustorf, and Peutsch. Penzlin and Werder were the family seats.
A candle factory and later a brickyard were established in Wustrow. In the second half of the 19th century a canal to Tollense Lake was constructed, which made possible water transport of these goods to Neubrandenburg. By inheritance Krukow and Wustrow went to Adolph von Maltzan, Freiherr [Baron] of Wartenberg and Penzlin, in the middle of the 19th century. During World War I his son Ulrich was owner of the 425-hectare (1050-acre) estate. From him it went in 1932 to the Landowning Assemblymens’ Credit Union of Mecklenburg, which sold it in the same year to F. W. Kutscke. He in his turn sold it in 1939 to Karl Freiherr [Baron] von Elverfeldt, called von Beverfoerde-Werries (1909-1999). The latter was dispossessed in 1945 during land reform. The agricultural buildings he had newly built (barn, cow shed and pig shed) were torn down after the war, as was a large half-timbered watermill that was already under heritage conservation before 1945.
The manor house was divided into two living spaces and renovated after 1990.
In the 1970s a complex of holiday bungalows was erected on the grounds between the house and the Tollense River.
