Krugsdorf Castle

The listed building, now known as Krugsdorf Castle, is a neo-baroque mansion from 1924 with a surrounding area of 18 hectares. It is used as the Hotel & Golf Resort Schloss Krugsdorf.
History: The estate has been owned by the von Eickstedt family since 1579. The first owner was Valentin von Eickstedt, Chancellor of the Pomerania-Wolgast government, secret council, governor of Wolgast and Ueckermünde. In 1579 he was enfeoffed with the Coblentz and Krugsdorf estates because of his services as chancellor. The last owner from the von Eickstedt family was Hans Georg Dubslaff von Eickstedt (1860–1908). Long succession and high debts prompted Hans Georg Dubslaff von Eickstedt to sell the castle-like Krugsdorf mansion with all its possessions (774 hectares) in 1898. The property passed into the possession of the Heuer family, who remained childless and were forced to sell the property again in 1918.
The next owner was the trained wheelwright Johann Hintze, who moved from the Schwichtensee Vorwerk to Krugsdorf. At that time, the manor house was still a thatched half-timbered house. During a summer thunderstorm, the thatched manor house burned down almost completely. Hintze had the castle built in its current form as a two-story plastered building. The initials JH of the builder can be found above the portal of the castle.
After the Second World War, the property was expropriated. After it was temporarily vacant, the manor house was used as a residential building for refugee families. After 1948/49 the district took over the agricultural engineering property (LPG). The manor house was used by the LPG and as a school.
In December 1985 Sabine and Eberhard Kloth (as tenants) took over the restaurant in the old castle. In 1990 it became the property of Jan Brozius from Uelzen. Furthermore, the Kloth family was tenant in the manor house until 1999. Brozius converted the castle into a hotel (opened in 1992). In 1999 the castle hotel went bankrupt and was then empty.
In 2004 J.A. Fernhout took over the castle hotel and began renovating the building in 2005. A golf course was built by 2009. Subsequently, the castle was further renovated from winter 2009 and the dependance from spring 2010. The interior was built according to plans by interior designer Thally van Beyeren. The Schlosshotel Krugsdorf was opened on May 29, 2010.
