Wedendorf Manor House (Palace)
The Wedendorf estate was the property of the von Bülow family from 1255 to 1680, when it was sold to the von Bernstorffs. The Wedendorf estate was the property of the von Bülow family from 1255 to 1680, when it was sold to Andreas Gottlieb von Bernstorff.
In 1697 Andreas von Bernstorff let the contract for the construction of a two-storey manor house in the Baroque style. This was rebuilt in 1805 under the direction of the Berlin architect Martin Friedrich Rabe into a plastered three-storeyed house in the Classical style with the addition of biaxial wings on the courtyard and garden sides. In 1815 the Italian Giuseppe Anselmo Pellicini painted 13 rooms in the so-called Third Pompeiian style.
1931 Count Hermann von Bernstorff goes bankrupt. In addition to Wedendorf, the bankrupt estate included numerous estates: Blieschendorf, Kasendorf, Rambeel, Groß und Klein Hundorf, Bernstorf and Hanshagen as well as the farming villages of Kirch Grambow, Köchelstorf, Stresdorf, Pieverstorf and Teschow. The manor house in Wedendorf is acquired by the Lübeck consul Hagen and the estate is settled.
After 1945 the house was used as refugee accommodations, a school, and as the union hall for the Free Federation of German Trade Unions.
During this time changes to the interior arrangement occurred with little regard for the paintings. Beginning in 1996 the house was rebuilt as a hotel.
In the cemetery in the neighboring village of Kirch Grambow is the burial ground of the von Bernstorff family.
