Vanselow Manor

Vanselow Manor is a manor house in the Vanselow district of the municipality of Siedenbrünzow in the Mecklenburg Lake District. The architect of the manor house, which was occupied in 1872, was Georg Daniel.

Since the 13th century, Vanselow belonged to the possessions of the von Maltzahn family line based at Osten Castle. Only in the period from 1654 to 1731 was Vanselow owned by other noble families such as the von Mardefelt, von Winterfeldt, and von Bohlen.

During the heyday of the Vanselow estate in the second half of the 19th century under Hans Ludwig von Maltzahn, the new manor house was built starting in 1869. Construction work ceased during the Franco-Prussian War. The completed house could only be occupied in October 1872.

At the end of World War II, the manor house was plundered and later expropriated. After more than a hundred refugees were initially housed here, the municipality of Vanselow set up apartments during GDR times. In 1990, Mortimer Freiherr von Maltzahn, the heir of the last owner until 1945, was able to acquire the manor house and the park. After the renovation, which began in 1991, was completed, a hotel was established in the house, which closed in 2000.
