Wessin Manor House
Wessin was first documented in 1391, when the dukes of Mecklenburg mortgaged the rights to the village to Kurt von Restorff of Radepohl and Wessin. Over hundreds of years the estate passed from hand to hand, partly as collateral.
The manor house is a long two-storey half-timbered building with two gables, built between 1820 and 1830 and currently heritage protected. The addition of the second storey occurred in 1910.
During the East German period and up to 1992 the house was used as a school as well as for apartments and township offices.
Today the house is privately owned and the annex has been renovated, but the main building is in sad condition.
The farm buildings flanking the house have been torn down.
The remains of a park with a remarkable tulip tree still exist.
