Herrenhaus Pansevitz

Herrenhaus Pansevitz is a noble estate covering around 45 hectares with historical linden tree rows from the 18th century. The building itself dates to the late 16th century and underwent modifications later, while the park with its tree-lined paths preserves the original structure of the grounds.

The mansion was built in 1597 and initially belonged to the von Krassow family. In the 19th century the estate passed to the princes of Inn- and Knyphausen through marriage, establishing its role as an important noble residence.

The mansion displays northern German noble architecture with features from different periods visible in its facade and the rows of linden trees that frame the grounds. The park remains a landmark in the regional landscape where visitors experience history and nature together.

The grounds function today as a Friedwald, a forest cemetery with walking paths through the historical landscape open to the public since 2006. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the paths lead through wooded areas and open park spaces.

After World War II local residents dismantled parts of the mansion and reused the materials for their own construction projects. This practice was not uncommon in war-damaged areas, though it left visible marks on the structure.
