Weisin Manor House
The village of Weisin is first documented in 1285 with the mention of Johannis de Waisin. The von Weltzien family, which in 1370 had acquired its first interest in Weisin, moved into the moated fortress of Weisin in 1410; it burned down in 1687.
Consequently the existing house was built in 1689. The von Weltziens owned the estate for about 350 years. From 1750 to 1945 it had various owners.
The house served as a military hospital during the Second World War and refugees were later housed here.
Beginning in 1954, during East German times, the house sheltered a kindergarten, a grocery store, a restaurant, and living accommodations.
In 1998 H. G. Wolf from Bremen acquired the house and park, completely refurbished the dilapidated buildings, and transformed his property into a complex of holiday lets.
New owners took over in 2007.
The manor house with its small park lies directly on the Alte Elde River.
