● Garvensdorf
We at the Gutshaus Garvensdorf Association bring people together through our work. Our film screenings attract not only local residents—vacationers also come here to enjoy unique films that are off the beaten path. In 2022, our association was even awarded the M-V Cinema Culture Prize for its wonderful annual program. About the history of the house: Since its construction around 1830 in the original Neoclassical style, the Garvensdorf manor house has had an eventful history. Owners changed frequently, and with them the appearance of the house, depending on the tastes of the time and financial resources—whether neo-Gothic turrets, GDR-style concrete plaster, or solar panels. After the expropriation of the last lord of the manor, von Platen, in 1945, the house housed refugees and later a kindergarten, the country doctor, and the municipal administration; a cinema and cultural hall were established. After 1989, the manor house unfortunately stood empty. Since 1995, we have been operating the manor house as the Gutshaus Garvensdorf Association. In our small but charming cinema, we screen films that aren’t necessarily shown in the big multiplexes—films with deeper messages, thought-provoking films, and wonderful documentaries. We also host several art festivals and other events here. So stay tuned! Please note that the manor house is only open for events. Please feel free to contact us if you’d like a guided tour outside of scheduled times. We’re sure we can make that work. Thank you very much.
Schmakentin Manor House
● Schmakentin
Late classicist manor house near the Hanseatic city of Wismar Schmakentin in Mecklenburg Gutsland near Wismar is older than all the Hanseatic towns in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and was 800 years old on June 11, 2017. The late classicist manor house, which was heavily overbuilt and stripped of all ornamentation during the GDR era, is not a listed building. It was possible to prevent its destruction by purchasing it, and a non-profit association is working to restore it authentically and is committed to the preservation of ALL manor houses in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The part of the park in front of the house and the apple orchard have been largely restored and completed. The interior has been carefully restored to the state of 1841, when the last owner bought the estate and successfully managed it until 1845. The association offers antiques in the foyer. The "Schmakentiner Riesen" (walnuts) and old apple varieties are well known.

The mill is the only one of its kind in the new federal states to have such preserved sails, which also boast the greatest span of 27 meters for this type. Both the windmill mechanism and the grinding mechanism are still operational. The mill sails were restored in 1981. The mill is privately owned.

Steffenshagen Church
● Steffenshagen
The church in Steffenshagen—a branch church of the Cistercian monastery in Althof/Doberan (founded in 1171 and 1186, respectively)—is one of the largest and most imposing village churches in Mecklenburg. The first documented mention of the German settlement village of Steffenshagen (Stephaneshagen) dates back to 1273. Image author: Chpagenkopf. Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License The church in Steffenshagen—a branch church of the Cistercian monastery of Althof/Doberan (founded in 1171 or 1186)—is one of the largest and most stately village churches in Mecklenburg. The first documented mention of the German settlement of Steffenshagen (Stephaneshagen) dates back to 1273. The choir (eastern part of the church) is believed to have been consecrated about 30 years earlier. This section and the three eastern bays of the three-nave nave were built in the Gothic style. Three additional bays and the tower were reconstructed in the 19th century and consecrated in 1866. Ten bands of molded bricks featuring depictions of animals (griffin, lion, panther, tiger) and two vine leaf friezes symbolize the pagan-demonic environment of that time, against which Christianity was directed. In a sense, the twelve apostles stand guard in the so-called priest’s portal as a protection against this world. Although the church and congregation have been among the poor for centuries, they possess several valuable exhibits. The church was renovated from 1965 to 1973. During this time, the rooms beneath the organ loft were also furnished. Here, the congregation has space to hold services, community evenings, and classes even during the cold season.
