Tips from the Community
Compared to the photos, the last renovation resulted in a further shift towards simplicity, as the front veranda has now also been removed and there are now parking spaces in front of it. If you look at the historical representations, only a small core of the original castle has been preserved: facade elements, gables have been radically simplified, windows reduced and probably the number as well. The previously conspicuous bay windows on the edges of today's front view can only be guessed at as a small wall protrusion. But perhaps that was the price for the house to still stand today. Who knows, unfortunately I don't know any internal details.

The estate was owned by Niclas von Braun until 1619. In 1619, Duke Philipp Julius of Pomerania followed, who received it in exchange. It then passed to the Swedish crown. In 1630, the estate was bought by the alderman of the Stralsund cloth hall, Johann von Scheven, after whose death the property was divided among his children and soon after partly returned to the Swedish crown. In 1722, the Swedish Captain Hinric von Sodenstern acquired the estate. Before the resettlement in 1929, the estate was owned by the von Pachelbel-Gehag family. In 1929, the estate was resettled and Valentin Unkrig managed it until the end of the Second World War. The manor house was built in 1777. From 1797 to 1858 it stood empty and was then restored. For the town's 750th anniversary in 1983, the manor house was renovated. The current owner is Joachim Pluhm. It is used for residential purposes. Text from the website https://gutshaeuder.de

In 1817, the Hof and village of Pantelitz belonged to Herr von Behrenfels, the tenant was from Eichstadt (from 1819 Barnevitz). From 1833, Herr Holsten is named as the owner; from 1856, Herr Rewold. In the mid-19th century, the manor house received its late Classicist style through renovation and expansion, probably in the course of the estate being taken over by Herr Rewold. In 1928, the estate was settled, the owner at that time was Georg Ruge. Friedrich Plüm acquired the left half of the manor house. Later it was passed on to his four sons and divided once more. In the year 2000, Ulrich Plüm, son of Herbert Plüm, took over half of the manor house, the park, and the courtyard area. The listed manor house has been renovated in recent years and partly used for residential purposes. The former landscape park is only preserved in remnants, it is also listed. The former estate complex has been partially preserved. The text is from the website https://gutshaeuser.de
