Kaarz Manor and Park

The Kaarz manor house (castle) is located in the gently rolling hills on the edge of the Mecklenburg Lake District. The estate was owned by the von Bülow family until 1872. After the Hamburg merchant Julius Hüniken acquired the estate, the Hüniken family had the manor house built in 1873 as a two-storey plastered building in the classicist style according to plans by the Berlin architects Saniter and Becker. The 7 hectare park was laid out as an English landscape park from 1873 with the help of the landscape architect C. Ansorge. It has a valuable tree population, some rare woody plants such as tulip trees, sequoias, Douglas firs and cypresses. The Hüniken family used Kaarz as a summer residence until 1945. After 1945, the manor house was initially used as refugee accommodation, briefly as a school and later as a retirement home. As a result, only a few details of the interior have been preserved, including a fireplace in the “Red Salon” and the ceiling painting in the foyer. In 1992, the Gaertner-Hüniken family bought back Gut Kaarz, extensively restored the building and opened a castle hotel. In 2013, the owner changed hands. The well-kept park with its dendrological sights is definitely worth a visit. The neo-Gothic chapel of the Bülow family and the neo-Renaissance mausoleum of the Hüniken family are also located here. gutshaeuser.de/de/guts_herrenhaeuser/gutshaeuser_k/herrenhaus_schloss_kaarz
