Curious wartime stopover 1944/45: Parts of the valuable "Prussia Collection" (archaeological finds, archives, negative collection) from the University of Greifswald were stored in the manor house. A merchant later rescued them and brought them to East Berlin.

Rarely fully preserved ensemble: Late Baroque symmetrical farmyard with six buildings in front around a courtyard paved with fieldstones, stable, riding hall, park and remains of the medieval castle complex (Schlossberg an der Tollense as a protected monument). This makes the complex a special feature among the country's manor complexes.

The place Schmarsow („Smarsowe“) was first documented in 1249. The name is presumably derived from the Slavic word smardz (morel mushroom). From the 14th century (from approx. 1325) it belonged as a knightly fief to the von Maltzahn family (also spelled Moltzan) and was part of the possessions of the nearby Osten castle on the Tollense. The Osten castle was destroyed or abandoned during the Thirty Years' War. The current castle was built by Joachim Philipp von Parsenow at the end of the 17th century. The exact construction period could not be proven by written sources, but was dated by dendrochronological studies (annual ring analyses) on the staircase, ceiling beams, and roof structure to the years 1697/1698 or 1697–1699, respectively.
