Manor in Gresse, Manor and architectural heritage monument in Gresse, Germany.

The Manor in Gresse is a two-storey neo-Gothic plastered building erected in 1849/50 to plans by architect Heinrich Thormann, replacing an earlier house demolished in 1849 under Georg von Drenckhahn. Its east facade has two tall stepped gables partly hiding a shallow hipped roof, pointed-arch arcades and ornamented friezes along the eaves, and an octagonal crenellated viewing tower at the south-east end. A terrace with a two-flight outdoor staircase fronts the east side; the tower room holds an octagonal romantic ceiling painting.

Gut Gresse was first documented in 1297, when Count Nikolaus von Schwerin gave two hides of land in Gresse to the Boizenburg church. From 1328 it belonged to the four von Sprengel brothers; in 1625 it was pledged to Hartwig von Schack, after which owners changed often. The manor house was built in 1849/50 to plans by Heinrich Thormann after Georg von Drenckhahn had the predecessor demolished in 1849. In 1872 the estate passed to Albertus Ohlendorff, ennobled in 1873.

The estate's name and the village's layout recall the von Sprengel family, who held Gut Gresse from 1 August 1328, when four brothers — Giese, Heinrich, Werner and Segeband — owned it. The neo-Gothic manor house, built 1849/50 to plans by Heinrich Thormann, replaced an earlier building demolished in 1849 under Georg von Drenckhahn. The horse stable, used until 1990, carries the year 1875 and is decorated with two horse-head sculptures and a coat of arms.

The manor house stands about 200 metres west of the B195 in an island position, with the Schloßteich in front and the Boize behind it. The former Marstall on Zarrentiner Straße is fenced off for safety, and the buildings are empty and decaying, so visits are limited to viewing from outside. A school and kindergarten are close by.

The estate's horse stable, used until 1990, carries two horse-head sculptures and a coat of arms on its facade, with the year 1875 visible on the building. Inside, cast-iron columns once stood alongside walls decorated with stucco and tiles.
