Gutshaus Bagow, Manor house in Päwesin, Germany.
Gutshaus Bagow is a two-story manor house with a steep gable roof that extends along Dorfstraße and includes a lateral extension. The building features barrel-vaulted cellars, rooms with star vaults on the ground floor, and additional storage structures on the property.
Albrecht von Schlieben received the estate as a fief in 1526 and built the manor house in 1545, as a sandstone coat of arms with that date recalls. The family kept Bagow until the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648. After brief ownership by the von Katte and von Stechow families, the von Graevenitz family took over in 1693/1698 and added the baroque side wing in the 18th century.
A sandstone relief on the ground floor shows Albrecht von Schlieben, the original builder of this manor house. The estate shaped village life for generations and remains a focal point of the local landscape today.
The manor house stands at Dorfstraße 35–37 in Bagow, on the shore of the Beetzsee. The listed estate also takes in a tenant house, a wash and ironing house, the coach house, stables, barns, two servants' dwellings and the Gutspark, so allow time to walk the grounds. The village of Päwesin lies nearby.
A sandstone relief in the ground floor commemorates Albrecht von Schlieben, who received the estate as a fief in 1526 and built the house in 1545; a coat of arms stone with the year 1545 sits beneath a window next to the portal. On 28 April 1945 about 100 freed inmates of the Brandenburg prison spent the night in the manor house.
