Groß Miltzow Manor House

Groß Miltzow · 53.5346° N, 13.5951° E
Groß Miltzow Manor House

Around 1760, a single-story building with a central risalit was constructed for the von Dewitz family; it was later connected to the main house.

Starting in 1785, the building was converted into a two-story Baroque manor house for the von Drewitz family. The three-axis, three-story central risalit is adorned with the combined coat of arms of the von Drewitz and von Maltzahn families. In the mid-19th century, the building underwent another renovation in the Neo-Renaissance style. To the left of the house stands the small “Luisenhaus,” where Queen Luise is said to have stayed. Of the former farm buildings, the 18th-century riding hall still stands.

Groß Miltzow Manor House – A Baroque Mansion with a Long History

The Groß Miltzow Manor House is one of the most remarkable manor houses in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Around 1760, a single-story building with a central risalit was initially constructed for the von Dewitz family. Starting in 1785, under the ownership of the von Drewitz family, it was converted into a two-story Baroque manor house. The three-axis, three-story central risalit still bears the combined coat of arms of the von Drewitz and von Maltzahn families and gives the building its distinctive character.

Neo-Renaissance Style and the Historic Luisenhaus

In the mid-19th century, the manor house underwent another renovation in the Neo-Renaissance style, giving the building its current appearance. Particularly charming is the so-called Luisenhaus, a small outbuilding to the left of the main house, where, according to tradition, Queen Luise is said to have stayed overnight. An 18th-century riding hall has also been preserved from the former farm complex—further evidence of the manorial past of this region between Stralsund, Greifswald, and the East Pomeranian Baltic Sea coast.
