Wolde Manor House

Wolde was first documented in 1392, when a castle stood here on the border between Pomerania and Mecklenburg. Duke Magnus II of Mecklenburg destroyed the castle; the defensive ditch around the castle hill is still extant.

Over the centuries the Wolde estate passed from hand to hand; in the fourteenth century it was in the possession of the von Winterfeld family, from 1569 in that of the Preens, fron 1646 the von Maltzahn, and from 1770 the von Burkersroda. The Moltkes and then again the Maltzahns followed, along with Baron von Fabrice from 1850 and finally the von Heyden-Linden family that held it until the end of World War II.

In 1797 Bogislav Helmut von Maltzahn had a splendid manor house built in Wolde. Inside the building, which had two wings, was a large hall of mirrors, and one wing contained a private chapel.

Today an alley of chestnut trees leads from the landscape garden directly to the inspector’s house (farmhouse) that was built in the nineteenth century by Baron von Fabrice.

The magnificent manor house of the Maltzahns was dismantled in 1945.

We present Wolde in the fourth volume of Fotografische Zeitreise Mecklenburg (Photographic Time Travel Mecklenburg).
