Tips from the Community

Michael (mimirsbrunnen)
December 28, 2025, Schloss Wrodow

The Wrodow estate existed as early as the 16th century and was for a long time a subsidiary estate without its own manor house. At the beginning of the 16th century, it belonged to the von Maltzahn family. After the Thirty Years' War, it was pledged to Colonel Joachim Engel in 1656. In the following centuries, ownership changed hands frequently, including families such as von Kamptz (from 1707), von Engel, and von Peccatel. In the 18th century, the core of the present building was constructed: a nine-bay central section, which was later expanded. Today, Wrodow Castle is a vibrant cultural monument in the idyllic Mecklenburg countryside, combining art, history, and community.

The church's origins date back to the 13th century: around 1250, a simple peasant church was built here as its predecessor. The current single-nave fieldstone church was erected in the 15th century, with alterations during the Renaissance. The rectangular building measures approximately 16 x 10 meters. The granite tower was built between 1839 and 1841, replacing an older wooden tower, as was the southern entrance porch with its stepped gable. Next to the church stands a neo-Gothic burial chapel of the von Voss family, dating from 1843, which now serves as a winter church.

The manor house is symmetrically laid out and located south of the village; a chestnut avenue leads to a gatehouse with a tower. The estate's economy traditionally focused on agriculture, as was typical for Mecklenburg estates.

A half-timbered chapel dating from 1843, originally used as a burial place for the noble von Voss family, now serves as a winter church. The von Voss family, a Mecklenburg noble family (Latin: Vulpes, meaning "fox"), has been documented in the region since the 13th century and owned the Luplow estate continuously from 1292 until its expropriation in 1945.

The Voss family was associated with the Luplow estate for several generations and left a significant historical mark there, which is also visible in the local architecture and cemetery culture.

The manor house was built around 1730, with additions around 1850/60 (e.g., the central projecting bay). For centuries, it was closely associated with the noble von Voss family, an old Mecklenburg aristocratic family. After expropriation in 1945, the house was looted. In 1953, under political pressure, the family mausoleum was reconstructed, and parts such as a gatehouse and a pavilion were demolished.
