The Wrodow estate existed as early as the 16th century and was for a long time a subsidiary estate without its own manor house. At the beginning of the 16th century, it belonged to the von Maltzahn family. After the Thirty Years' War, it was pledged to Colonel Joachim Engel in 1656. In the following centuries, ownership changed hands frequently, including families such as von Kamptz (from 1707), von Engel, and von Peccatel. In the 18th century, the core of the present building was constructed: a nine-bay central section, which was later expanded. Today, Wrodow Castle is a vibrant cultural monument in the idyllic Mecklenburg countryside, combining art, history, and community.

The striking neo-Gothic manor house in Pinnow was built between 1862 and 1869, commissioned by Friedrich von Klinggräff (1825–1887). Constructed incorporating an older tenant farmer's house, it is considered one of the most original manor houses in Mecklenburg (a brick building in a square layout with an inner courtyard, towers, wooden galleries, and rich furnishings). Friedrich von Klinggräff, a Mecklenburg landowner, parliamentarian (a member of parliament in the 1848 Revolution), and founder of the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV), was a devout Lutheran and patriot. He had the house built as a "truly German, simple, pious house" intended to educate the youth. The architects were initially Conrad Wilhelm Hase and Carl Schäfer, and later Heinrich Wiethase. After 1945, the expropriated house served as living quarters, the administration of an agricultural production cooperative (LPG), a post office, and the town hall. It fell into severe disrepair, but from 2012 onwards it was renovated in accordance with historic preservation standards by private owners.

It was built between 1862 and 1869 on behalf of the von Klinggräff family. The building is a brick structure, laid out in a square, with a small courtyard at its center. The courtyard front of the manor house, which features numerous extensions, wooden galleries, and decorative elements, features a tower-like central section with a wooden porch. The estate was owned by the von Aschersleben family in 1612, by Reimar Ernst von Voß in 1668, and by the von Klinggräff family from around 1700 until 1945. After expropriation, the manor house served as residential property, the community, as a post office, and the headquarters of the LPG administration. In the 1970s, it began to be gradually vacated, and by the 1980s it had stood empty. In 1996, the "Arbeitskreis Denkmalpflege e. V." (Working Group for the Preservation of Historical Monuments) took over. The dilapidated building was leased on a long-term lease and began documentation, cleanup, and preservation work, but these efforts stalled. The manor house is surrounded by a landscaped park, laid out in the 19th century, with a magnificent tree population. A barn and a few outbuildings remain from the former large farmyard. In 2012, new owners were found for the dilapidated manor house. Since then, it has been renovated in accordance with historic preservation regulations.

In 1908, Dr. Adolf von Buenger acquired the estate. Between 1905 and 1914, he had almost the entire village demolished, subsequently rebuilding the manor house, the estate, and the village. The manor house is a two-story, plastered building with a colonnade and a gazebo, built on a fieldstone base. The entrance hall, with its original wood paneling, extends over two floors, and a wide staircase leads to a gallery. Between 1945 and 1990, the manor house was used as a training center by the Neubrandenburg District Cultural Academy, after which it stood empty for many years. The manor house is privately owned. Adjacent to the stately home is a small park with a meadow as its centerpiece. The entire estate, including the inspector's house, stables, and barns, is truly worth seeing, but is in a state of disrepair.

The manor house, completed in 1869 in the neo-Gothic style, has been completely renovated. Fenced in, but easily visible.

Can only be admired as a "spectator".

In 1777, Adam von Blücher had the castle built. The magnificent three-axis central projections extend over two floors and end with a high lunette gable, each of which has a coat of arms cartouche. The von Blücher and von Maltzahn families took turns in owning Gützkow. Inside there is a very beautiful, restored, two-wing staircase with restored Rococo decoration on the ceilings. Behind the house is a baroque garden. After a period of vacancy, Helmuth von Maltzahn, a descendant of the former lord of the castle, is now the owner. He wants to have the entire complex and the five-hectare park restored to its original state. The former cowshed was turned into a concert hall. On August 18, 2001, the first concert took place in the castle park as part of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival. Avenues, ponds and old fieldstone walls have already been renovated.
