Estate Kakernehl
In 1701, Dorothea von Gosen of Varbelvitz had rights to this place. The later pledgee was Christian von Ahnen. The estate tenant's house was built in 1897 and 1898 on the site of a previous building that burnt down. It had a living space of around 160 square metres. The manor house was connected to a 50 square metre outbuilding via a covered corridor. One of the village's three (?) wells was located in this corridor.
The basement of the manor house served as a service cellar, above it was the tenant's flat and its accessories, and the attic was the smokehouse, the attic room and the parlour.
The adjoining building housed the kitchen and the parlours for the people and domestic staff, while the annex (milk room) contained a small flat for trainees. The attic was used as a maid's room and attic space. The outbuilding was demolished in the early 1960s. The bricks were used for a new building for the old users in Wittenhagen. The outbuilding was covered with special Dutch roof tiles.
The horse stable in its present form dates from 1912. The barn, built in 1863, served as a Cartwright’s workshop from 1922; an extension on the west side was a garage. The barn burnt down before 1950.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Berninghaus family took over the tenancy. In 1919/20, Head Bailiff Berninghaus had an electric lighting system installed on the demesne at his own expense. The total cost of this was 32,000 marks. The last tenant until 1945 was Heinz Berninghaus. On 6 May 1945, the mother of Toni Berninghaus' daughter-in-law was shot by the Russians at 7 pm and buried in the park.
In the 1975s, the manor house served as a hostel for apprentices, and after 1990, asylum seekers moved in.
