Tips from the Community
The original manor house probably dates from the first half of the 18th century. In 1924, the predecessor building burned down and was rebuilt in 1926 in a modified form on the foundation walls. During the Nazi era, it served as a "farmstead school for the training of young female farmers". After 1945, refugees and resettlers moved in first; later it continued to be used for residential purposes. During the GDR era, there were various uses.

Short (approx. 4–5 km depending on the exact start/end position), relatively flat and easily rideable on asphalt or a path alongside the road.

The church door was closed. But the cemetery around it is a wonder. The tools hang at the entrance on a board. You can see the work in them. Unfortunately, I didn't meet the person, but I respectfully accepted the invitation to visit.

The church was originally built as a fortified church by farmers from Meesig after the Thirty Years' War. It was first documented in 1255 and originally belonged to the Verchen Monastery before being reintegrated into the Verchen parish.

The Sommersdorf estate was owned by the von Maltzahn family, who had their headquarters on the neighboring Kummerow estate. The Rewoldt family is listed as the last owners. After the previous building burned down in 1924, the building was rebuilt in a modified form. During the Nazi era, the manor house was used as a "farm school for the training of young farmers." After 1945, the manor house initially housed refugees, and later it also served as residential accommodation. In 2005, construction work was carried out on the exterior facade and roof of the manor house. Today, the house houses apartments. An outbuilding houses the Sommersdorf Volunteer Fire Department.
