Wolkwitz Manor House
Wolkwitz lies in the delightful landscape east of the Kümmerower See (Kümmerow Lake). The manor house, a two-storey stucco building in Classical style, received its current form at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Before 1807 Wolkwitz was a domain and subsidiary property of Lindenberg District. In the nineteenth century Adam Heinrich Rewoldt acquired the estate; during the twentieth century it belonged to the Maass family until their dispossession in 1945.
After 1945 the manor house served as dwelling space; later the local state agricultural cooperative used it among other things for cultural purposes and for its canteen.
After 1990 the manor house, now in the possession of the real estate trust for former East German properties, stood vacant for many years. The original interiors dating from its construction, which until 1990 were largely preserved, disappeared over the years.
The current owners, the Rabe family, renovated the ramshackle building after 2014.
A large open space in front of the manor house hints at the former large estate complex. Behind the house lies an overgrown park, where magnificent chestnut trees form an alley.
At the edge of the village stands a church whose oldest part probably dates to the thirteenth century. During the Thirty Years’ War it was partly destroyed but later in the seventeenth century rebuilt.
