Manor House Düssin
The Düssin manor house, a compact building with a mighty hipped roof, was probably built at the end of the 18th century.
According to the "Großherzoglich Mecklenburg-Schwerinsches offizielles Wochenblatt 1847" (Official Journal of the Grand Ducal Court), Bernhard von Bülow took over shares in the estate from his uncle, the Chancellery Vice-Director and Chamberlain Carl von Bülow, on 13 August 1847.
In 1908, Konrad Graf von Kanitz had the manor house rebuilt in the Tudor Gothic style by the architect Franz Krüger from Lüneburg. In 1911, the Councillor of Commerce Georg Plange purchased the estate. From 1912 to 1914, a lot of modernisation was carried out in Düssin, new stables and various farm buildings were built. The model estate was the first in western Mecklenburg to have its own electricity, as well as irrigation and drainage throughout the whole village. The cowshed was also built at this time, as well as a dairy with a milking hall in the meadows. For the estate workers he built exemplary dwellings with stables and gardens. In 1919, one of Georg Plange's sons took over the management of the estate. In 1938, the estate was bought by the Hanseatic City of Hamburg with the aim of establishing an outpost for the accommodation of the mentally ill. Towards the end of WWII the estate management left the estate with the patients. The listed manor house has been standing empty since 1996. The manor house has a small park with a pond and its own spring.
The Düssin cattle house, which has been converted into a shoe factory, makes an imposing impression with its length of around 150 m and the exceptional shape of the building.
