Wrechen Manor House
The house was built in 1840 to plans by Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel. It is a massive plastered building with a wide two-storey front projection beneath a flat pediment.
The estate was in the possession of the von Raven family until 1816. They sold it to Franz von Bremen. He was able to keep the estate for just a year, then sold it to Karl Blank. The latter sold it to Philipp Seip from Glocksin in 1829. In 1833 Carl Ludwig Seip acquired the estate from his brother. The last owner before dispossession was the Berlin factory owner Hans Kraft. In 1952 the house, now occupied by refugees, devolved to the legal control of the local council. Under the East German regime the manor house was used for apartments, the post office, and a doctor’s office. From 1992 it stood vacant until it was briefly sold to a gentleman from Hamburg. He wanted to use it as assisted living quarters for “somewhat well-to-do circles,” for example, to erect an apartment complex, but nothing came of this. In 1999 the director and pantomimist Eberhard Kube acquired the house and had it renovated. In the restored gardener’s house is a guesthouse and acting classes are supposed to be offered in the house. The cultural asset Wrechen with its “Gardener’s House” offers ideas and possibilities for vacations in every season of the year in the Feldberg Lake District.
