Manor House Grambow, a district of Goldberg
Grambow, formerly part of the municipality of Lübz, is now part of the small town of Goldberg. From 1738 until it was expropriated in 1945 the estate with 512 hectares of land, windmill and blacksmith shop belonged to members of the von Passow family and their descendants von Brandenstein.
- 1802 and 1841 Captain Christoff Friedrich Wilhelm von Passow is the owner of the estate with 3 tenants and 14 cottagers (day labourers).
- 1853, 1863 Wilhelm von Passow, 1896 Grambow became an Alodial estate. (Allodialgut = an estate which the owner can freely dispose of and bequeath to others and where female succession is possible. Land freely held, without obligation of service to any overlord.) 1913 with 41 horses, 130 cattle, 180 pigs, 550 sheep.
- 1930 Margarethe von Passow, (leased from Baron von Brandenstein); her initials (without the `von´ which fell down) can still be found on a barn at the access road from the west.
- 1939 Baroness Elisabeth von Brandenstein, née von Passow.
The windmill and the blacksmith shop belonging to the estate have long since disappeared.
The main house, a traditional half-timbered farmhouse with a half hipped roof, Elar v. Weltzien ordered to be built around 1700.
The grandson of the last owner before the land reform, F. v. Dallwitz, purchased the house in 1996 and thoroughly renovated it.
To the south of the manor house are the building formerly used for laundry facilities and the estate manager´s house both of which are of a later date.
Well worth seeing are the huge trees in the small, now open to the public estate park: oaks, including the "Smädeik", at the site of the blacksmith shop,now the south-eastern entrance to the park; copper beeches, pines; even asmaller elm.
