Wrangelsburg Manor House (Palace)
South of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald lies Wrangelsburg village. The former village, “Outpost,” belonged to the von Neuenkirchen family from 1426. From that time on various houses existed there, which through war or fire were vandalized or dismantled.
Wrangelsburg received its name in 1653, ten years after the von Wrangel family took over the village. Field Marshal Carl Gustav Wrangel was Governor General of Swedish Pomerania and until 1676 filed marshal during the Swedish-Brandenburg War.
The estate with the then already damaged palace was sold in 1769 by the Wrangel heirs. The new owners, the Putbus family, had the rest of the house torn down and sold the estate in 1773 to the von Normann family, who had their seat at the Krebsow estate. Around 1860 Carl Leopold Homeyer (von Homeyer from 1865) acquired Wrangelsburg estate and about 1880 had a new manor house built on the middle part of the Wrangel palace. The two-storey plastered house is in the Gothic Revival style and sits on a high basement. A distinctive feature is the tower with its little viewing platform, historically reconstructed during the 2018 renovation. Of the former Wrangel palace several heads of putti remain and can be seen today at driveway. Above the second-storey balcony is a relief of the Homeyer coat of arms.
From 1929 the estate was in the possession of the von Kameke family. A children’s home was located in the house during the East German period.
Today the manor house is privately owned.
Behind the house stretches a large park, whose origins reach back to 1750.
A paper manufacturer has set up in the lovingly restored former sheep barn.
