Dalwitz Estate Park
In the estate park, you can discover a monument dedicated to Sabine von Bassewitz (1716-1790).
She was regarded by contemporaries as a "woman of great and rare talents". The manor house as you find it today has existed in its present form since 1726. Of the once baroque gardens you can still see the old avenue of lime trees on the castle rampart. A Caucasian wingnut and a leather tree have also grown to an impressive size. These two specimens at the foot of the moat cannot be overlooked. In the estate park, you can discover a monument dedicated to Sabine von Bassewitz (1716-1790). She was regarded by contemporaries as a "woman of great and rare talents". She was in correspondence with numerous scholars of her time, such as Johann Joachim Spalding and Voltaire, with whom she wrote about his Histoire de Charles XII, among other things. Her letters were admired for the "purity and elegance of style, the acuity, the acquaintance with our literature, and the heart of this rare woman". On a walk through the park behind the manor house, the landscape opens up. You can feel the peace and beauty of a unique park landscape. You can no longer miss the red blossoming chestnut tree at the edge of the moat, which was planted six years ago and is the landmark and logo of our Mecklenburg ParkLand. To the left, at the transition to the small pavilion island, a small Ginkgo biloba is trying to grow tall and a little further on, at the paddock fence, a tulip tree is trying to do the same. In the distance, the estate's cattle graze and the Criollo horses gallop across the pastures. The "estate's own" swan swims its laps on the water with its family. Here is a place to linger. Take a look over the fence of our farm garden, southwest of the gatehouse. This is where Das Gut Dalwitz grows flowers, herbs and vegetables for its guests and the restaurant. Guests are welcome to harvest the produce for their own use. The farm garden is lovingly and lavishly tended. The estate has only one request to its house guests: "Please do not feed the horses with the carrots or other vegetables growing there and do not harvest more than you really need and can eat here."
Dalwitz Estate Park in Walkendorf - history in the heart of Mecklenburg
Dalwitz Manor Park in Walkendorf is one of the quiet but remarkable excursion destinations in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The manor house in its current form dates back to 1726 and forms the historic core of an extensive park that still bears clear traces of its Baroque past. Anyone traveling in the region between Rostock and Greifswald will find a place to pause here.
Old giant trees and a special monument in the estate park
The old avenue of lime trees can still be admired on the castle rampart. At the foot of the moat, two extraordinary specimens catch the eye: a Caucasian wingnut and a leather tree, both of stately size. The ensemble is complemented by a red-flowering chestnut tree at the edge of the moat - the landmark of Mecklenburg ParkLand. A young ginkgo and tulip tree try to do the same.
Sabine von Bassewitz - an extraordinary woman of the 18th century
There is a monument in the park to Sabine von Bassewitz (1716-1790), who was considered a "woman of great and rare talents" in her day. She maintained correspondence with important scholars such as Johann Joachim Spalding and even Voltaire. Her correspondence was admired for its elegant style and intellectual acuity - an impressive testimony to female education in baroque Mecklenburg.
Farm garden, horses and swans - life at Dalwitz Estate
Behind the manor house, the landscape opens up into a wide, tranquil parkland. Criollo horses graze in the meadows, cattle roam the fields and the estate's own swan glides across the water. To the south-west of the gatehouse, it is worth taking a look over the fence of the farm garden, where flowers, herbs and vegetables are grown for the restaurant and the estate's house guests.

However, this nowhere is beautiful and typical of Mecklenburg Parkland. Of course, traditional craftsmanship is also part of it, so we will also take a quick look at a guitar-making workshop and a goldsmith's shop. Welcome to our journey through time from the Ice Age to the present day, from the megalithic tomb to the country castle, from wild nature to the estate park. When? From April to October on Wednesdays, Saturdays or by arrangement Where? We normally start in Dalwitz in the heart of the Mecklenburg Parkland.
