Manor House Seewalde
In one of the most scenic regions of the Mecklenburg Lake District Seewalde is located directly on Lake Gobenow. The place emerged from a brick yard with associated agriculture in the 19th century, it belonged to Drosedow.
For a long time it was a leasehold property. The spacious manor house was probably built as a weekend residence in the 1920s. Seewalde is mentioned in 1904: `His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has deigned to give the name "Seewalde" to the leasehold estate Drosedow II with steam brickworks belonging to the leaseholder and steam brick factory owner Robert Nolte´. The owners of the estate changed frequently: up to 1927 Gustav Linmann, Otto Bastian until 1934, the writer Hermann Lamm until 1935, Franz Ackermann until 1937 and a Protestant association until 1941. The Lauenstein Curative and Educational Institute eventually acquired the site, but was expropriated again in 1949. A boarding school was later established in the buildings until it was first converted into a school for kindergarten teachers and later into a training and recreational centre for the SED. (SED = The Socialist Unity Party of Germany the ruling party of the German Democratic Republic)
In 1990, Lauenstein e. V. (The Lauenstein Curative and Educational Institute) submitted an application for the reassignment and was able to take over the site in 1995. In 1996, the foundation stone was laid for two modern semi-detached houses. Two years later, work with disabled people began again in Seewalde. With the help of `Aktion Mensch´ (a charity organisation) the Seewalde people built workshops for the disabled.
The park has a beautiful stock of old trees. In the park there is an old ice cellar built from boulder stones.
