Wohrenstorf Manor House
The Wohrenstorf estate was owned by the von Bassewitz family from 1416 to 1945. The house was built between 1732 and 1735. It was structurally changed at the end of the nineteenth century.
After 1945 refugees sheltered on the estate. In 1989 Bernd Schröter and Bernd Teichmann from Kiel acquired the house, since when it has been privately owned. In 2014 the façade was renovated, and the interior was also lavishly modernized and restored. During the restoration emphasis was placed on traditional workmanship. All ceilings still retain their original plaster ornamentation. The foyer and a large number of doors with their door knob backplates were able to be preserved.
Since 2016 the house is once more in the possession of the von Bassewitz family.
Apart from the manor house itself and a renovated stable block, nothing remains of the estate. Most of the stables were torn down during the East German era. Today new single-family homes occupy the former estate complex. The remains of a landscape garden also belong to the house.
