Tips from the Community
The two-story reception building from 1877 is largely preserved in its original state and is a listed building. It still shapes the townscape in the southeast of the city today.

Demmin was a member of the Hanseatic League from 1283 until the 17th century. Mecklenburg was, so to speak, the Hanseatic League's breadbasket, and Demmin was an important trading center. Considering the extremely convenient transport links, it seems predestined for this. First, there is the Peene, a river that is easily navigable between Malchin on the Kummerower River, via Demmin and Anklam to the lagoon. The Peene flows around Demmin in a semicircle, which was good for the city's security. But not only the Peene: the Tollense and Trebel also flow into the Peene here. Consequently, there are several port facilities. Demmin has road connections in all directions. This is why there were no fewer than five gates in the city fortifications! And then there is the railway connection, which connects Demmin with Stralsund and Neustrelitz to Berlin.

I absolutely can't agree with the alleged renovation or security measures. Modern stone was used there. I wonder if it really looked like this? Without a gate, door, or windows?

Many castles and manor houses offer culture and tourist attractions, including Stellshagen, Bothmer, Plüschow, Dönkendorf, Lütgenhof and Gut Brook. Brook is located directly on the Baltic coast, on the Bay of Lübeck. The extensive manor complex is only 500 meters from the beach and is elevated in a rolling terminal moraine landscape. The estate, which is now very well maintained, with a manor house and numerous manor buildings, already shows the territorial proximity to Schleswig-Holstein, because the type of mighty building ensemble can be found in many estates in Holstein. Brook, along with many other estates, belonged to the county of Bothmer for a long time. In 1715, the Imperial Counts of Bothmer, originally from Hanover, founded a majorate county in the Klützer Winkel. As a result, they built Bothmer Castle near Klütz, which is the largest baroque castle complex in Mecklenburg. Gut Brook has been privately and ecologically managed for several years with the also former Bothmer estate Christinenfeld. A number of holiday apartments have been built and numerous cultural events take place at Brook.

It was a double moated castle, as the two brothers Hartwig and Heinrich Maltzahn had a terrible falling out. The upper wall was called "the right castle", the lower wall "the outer castle". Both had their own gates and bridges to the land route! The upper part was partially destroyed when the Tollense was straightened. Unfortunately, the remains of the foundations can no longer be viewed today because there is no access to them and everything is overgrown!
