Vimfow Estate
The Vimfow estate was established in 1767 at the behest of the administrative office of the Dobbertin Monastery as an outlying property to the Mestlin estate. Next to the manor house arose six agricultural buildings and four day laborers’ cottages.
For just a short time between 1861 and 1869 Vimfow was a separate estate independent of Mestlin and leased by Rudolf Jürgens.
The current manor house is a brick building with two wings. The façade of the northwest wing displays the year 1859, but whether this refers to new construction or a rebuild is unknown. Both wings are now used as living quarters.
The estate complex was torn down under the East German regime, the last stable building in the 1990s.
