Schloss Johannstorf, Baroque château near Dassow, Germany.
Schloss Johannstorf is a brick Baroque residence near Dassow featuring a classical facade supported by four pilasters and topped with a Mansard roof. The two-story building displays typical 18th-century design and served as the main structure within a larger estate complex that included additional farm buildings.
The residence was built in 1743 by architect Rudolph Matthias Dallin for the von Buchwald family, who had maintained ties to the region since 1412. Its construction marked the family's strengthening position in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern during the Baroque period.
The von Buchwald family coat of arms appears on the facade, connecting this place to local nobility traditions. Such symbols marked the residence of an important family in the region.
The building is currently not open to visitors and requires restoration work, making exterior viewing from the grounds the practical option. Respect the private property boundaries and observe the site from accessible vantage points around the estate.
Water channels surround the estate, creating a squared layout around the main structure and reflecting classic manor designs of the era. A characteristic gatehouse at the entrance completes the arrangement typical of regional estates.
