Manor house Sommersdorf
● Sommersdorf
The manor house in Sommersdorf, formerly Alt-Sommersdorf, is located in the middle of the charming forest, meadow and lake landscape around Lake Kummerow. The Sommersdorf estate was owned by the von Maltzahn family, who had their headquarters on the neighboring Kummerow estate. The Rewoldt family is named as the last owner. After the previous building burned down in 1924, the building was rebuilt in a modified form. During the National Socialist era, the manor house was used as a "farm school for the training of young farmers' wives". After 1945, refugees initially moved into the manor house and it was later used for residential purposes. In 2005, construction work was carried out on the exterior façade and roof of the manor house. Today there are apartments in the house. A farm building is the headquarters of the Sommersdorf volunteer fire department.
Sommersdorf Church
● Sommersdorf
The church was built in the 17th century—probably on the site of an earlier structure—of fieldstone mixed with brick and featuring an eastern half-timbered gable on a roughly square floor plan. The western gable was rebuilt around 1900. The church has three relatively small segmental-arch windows on each long side and two on the east wall.
Os near Sommersdorf
● Sommersdorf
Oser (Wallberge) are narrow, elongated, gravelly ridges that form as glaciers retreat. Resembling railroad embankments, osers can stretch for many kilometers despite being only 30 to 150 meters wide, bearing witness to the massive crevasses that crisscrossed the inland ice sheet. The crevasses followed the direction of ice flow and were further eroded by meltwater streams.
