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.
Construction of this manor began in 1772 and took six years to complete under master builder Sidon from Güstrow. The von Bassewitz family owned the estate from its first documentation in 1228 until 1945, during which time it operated a notable horse breeding operation until 1841.
The rooms contain period furnishings from the 18th century, and a festival hall displays elaborate Rococo stucco work on its walls. This decoration tells the story of how a wealthy family once lived in grand style.
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.
