South of Parchim, in the landscape protection area of the Ruhner mountains, the town of Mentin is located directly on the motorway. Here, on the edge of a small valley, rises a monumental representative mansion.

The estate was owned by the von Pressentin family at the end of the 19th century and later came into the possession of Rittmeister Arthur Poensgens, who probably also commissioned the construction of this building. In the years 1912 to 1913 the so-called "Mentin Castle" was built in the Baroque style with Art Nouveau elements according to plans by the architect Paul Korff. In 1916 the Neuerburg family from Hamburg acquired the estate.

After World War II, the manor house served as a children's home until 1996. From the manor house, a flight of stairs and subsequent spacious garden terraces lead to the extensive park, which is unfortunately overgrown today.

After 1996 there were plans to set up a hotel with an automobile museum in the manor house. This plan was abandoned and in 2007 the building was still empty. The mansion was renovated in 2013. After a brief use as a museum, the mansion is still empty and for sale (as of 08/2021).

The distillery and a number of farm buildings made of field stones and bricks have been preserved from the former farm yard, some of which have now been converted into apartments, others are empty.

It now belongs to one "investor", but you can move into the castle.
