Tips from the Community
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 estate had a long history of ownership (including the von Perselin, von Blücher, von Linden, von Heyden-Linden, von Neetzow families, and again von Blücher). After expropriation in 1945 and GDR use (including apartments, Konsum shop, VEG kitchen), the ensemble was renovated from 1994 under Raik Mulsow; later owners (from 2011 including Jörg Kröger) continued the restoration of the house and chapel in the park.

The Kummerower See lies only about 0.2–0.3 m above sea level (parts of the surroundings even below). Through the Peene (the "Amazon of the North"), seawater can even penetrate at high Baltic Sea water levels and reverse the flow direction. Previously, the lake was also called "Große Peene".

The courthouse at Clara-Zetkin-Straße 14 (currently the branch office) dates back to the German Empire. It is a listed brick building from 1894, erected as a district court. From 2018 to 2020, it was extensively renovated (costing approx. 2.85 million euros); the former prison now houses, among other things, the land registry office. Until 2015, there was a branch office at Neues Weg 19. The Malchin branch (since 1998) was dissolved in 2009.
