Manor House Pulow
Pulow is located away from the main roads, on the shore of the Achterwasser (backwater) on the island of Usedom. The preserved early German tower mound from around 1230 and the Bronze Age burial mounds near Pulow bear witness to the early settlement of this area.
The place was first mentioned in a document in 1291. The castle, which was probably owned by the Knights of Lepel, is regarded as the starting point for the later village and estate of Pulow.
In 1441 Claus Colte sold the place to the Anklam priest Johann Bandemer, in 1547 the estate was in possession of the Zitzewitz family, followed by the Vieregges and after the Thirty Years' War by the von Weißenstein family. In 1772, the von Schwanenfelds purchased the estate; in 1822 it was inherited by the von Hackwitzs and from 1834 by Peter Baron von le Fort. The von le Fort family remodelled the estate and the manor house. At the beginning of the 20th century the estate came into bourgeois possession: Mr Riehmer in 1907, Dr. Leonhardt in 1910 and the industrialist Körting from 1917. The latter had the manor house rebuilt in the neo-baroque style. From this period, an imposing neo-baroque staircase and a wood-panelled hall have been preserved.
During the GDR era, the manor house already stood empty for many years and was scheduled for demolition. After 1990, it was saved this fate with the help of an association. Nowadays it is privately owned and has been undergoing renovation for several years.
Behind the manor house is a small park with a pond.
