    The well-maintained grounds are part of the "Nordsaat Agrar GmbH" estate. The farm manager lives in the attractive building. Unique to all of Rügen: it features a moat with a circular rampart. No wonder, given that the current manor house was built in the 17th century on the foundations of a 15th-century castle. The property has had a typical history, including expropriation by the Soviet Army, nationalization during the GDR era, and reacquisition by Nordsaat in 1991.

      From there to MV de:
      The only preserved structure of its kind on the island of Rügen, with a beautiful, walkable rampart.


      The complex was founded in 1170 by Granza von Platen as the family's ancestral castle. The fieldstone foundations of the manor house were built before 1500. The moat and 5 m high and 6 m wide circular wall were built before 1600 as a "defensive wall." In the 17th century, the two-story manor house was built on the old foundations. In the 18th century, the octagonal upper story of the tower with its cap and the wide, south-facing projections were added. In 1910, the North German Seed Breeding AG "Nordsaat" was founded by Karl von Schultz. This seed breeding station existed until the end of World War II. In 1945, the family was expropriated as part of the land reform. During the GDR era, the manor house was initially inhabited by refugees and later used as a kindergarten and administrative building for the "People's Own Estate." In 1991, the estate was repurchased from the Treuhand (trusteeship) by the Schleswig-Holstein-based "Nordsaat GmbH." The manor house was subsequently renovated as a residential and administrative building.
