Schloss Prebberede, Manor house in Prebberede, Germany.
Schloss Prebberede is a two-story brick building in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with a mansard roof concealing additional floors above. The thick walls, measuring 90 to 150 centimeters, provide structural strength and protection, while the interior now serves as a holiday property with four named apartments.
Prebberede was first documented in 1228, when Duke Wartislaw III of Pomerania granted the village to the church at Polchow. From 1395 to 1945 the estate belonged to the von Bassewitz family. Carl Friedrich Graf von Bassewitz had the manor built from 1772 to 1778 by the Güstrow master builder Sidon. Until 1841 the estate maintained Mecklenburg's largest thoroughbred stud, known throughout Germany.
The manor's name comes from the village of Prebberede, first recorded as Priberaze in 1228. Today the restored Rococo hall, with its 86-square-metre ceiling and wall stucco, hosts concerts and lectures, while four holiday apartments occupy the former living quarters.
The manor now functions as a holiday rental property accessible from the village of Prebberede. Visitors should note that it is a private residence and interior access is typically reserved for guests staying at the apartments.
Master builder Sidon from Güstrow required an enormous sum of 5225 gold thalers to complete the construction, reflecting the project's quality and ambition. This substantial investment reveals how important this building was to the family's vision.
