Manor House Klockow

In 1477 Hinrich von Rieben was documented as the owner of Galenbeck and Klockow. In 1586 the Lübberstorfs received part of the estate as a pledge, in 1592 followed by Otto von Ihlenfeld.




After the Thirty Years' War, Hans Christoph von Scheele and his wife Katharina von Rieben rebuilt the estate. Their son-in-law, Viktor Sigismund von Oertzen, initially received the estate as a pledge from them in 1679.

The manor house was built in 1853 according to plans by Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel. It is a neo-Gothic, two-story rendered building with a central risalit. Builders were the brothers Carl and Louis von Bülow, who inherited the estate after the death of their parents. The Bülows were the successors of the von Oertzen family on the estate of Klockow. They were forced to sell their property in 1838 after the death of August von Oertzen. In 1679 Klockow first came into the possession of the von Oertzen family as a pledge, then in 1694 into the actual possession of the von Oertzen family. The Bülows neither did remain in permanent possession of Klockow. The estate subsequently changed hands numerous times: in 1871, it was in the hands of Otto von Itzenplitz's creditors, in 1884 Ernst von Meyenn became the owner, followed by Adolf Burmeister in 1900, and in 1914 by Henning von Oertzen on Rattey. The last owner of the estate, Erich Sassen, was forced to relinquish ownership. Klockow was then opened to settlements in 1933/34. After that, the manor house was used for various purposes. The house was used for flats, for offices of the LPG (Agricultural Production Co-Operative), the village social club, the local Co-Op shop, and before even as the village school. The church held the deeds of the property. Since 1992, the manor house has been privately owned again.
