On Pentecost 2008, Antje Glasow and Thomas Wege, then newlyweds, stumbled upon the then-vacant, severely dilapidated manor house by chance while on a bike ride from Rostock. Despite its desolate condition, they immediately fell in love with the building’s unique charm; overgrown with blackberry bushes and rubble, it looked like an enchanted castle.
After speaking with the mayor, they learned of the failed efforts to save the historic building since 1995 and the community’s desire to find a savior for the house. In 2010, they were able to purchase the property—and since then, they have been investing their free time, evenings, and weekends in its careful restoration.
