Pinnow House

Pinnow House is a manor with Gothic Revival brick architecture featuring pointed arches, steep gables, and ornate decorative elements. The building displays skillful craftsmanship in its detailed stonework and structural design that was typical of 19th-century construction.

The house was designed and built between 1863 and 1869 by three accomplished architects who combined their expertise in Gothic Revival design. Its construction occurred during an era when rural landowners sought to showcase wealth and status through grand neo-Gothic estates.

The manor reflects a romantic preference for Gothic styling that appears throughout its design and decorative details. This choice of style was common among landowners of the era who wanted to connect with regional roots and heritage.

The estate is situated in rural Mecklenburg-Vorpommern surrounded by countryside that provides a calm setting for exploration. Visitors should allow time to walk the full grounds and gardens to fully appreciate the property beyond the main building.

The grounds feature an English-style garden with a lake containing two islands that provides a natural contrast to the Gothic building design. An ancient oak tree on the property is locally recognized for its exceptional appearance and character.
