Manor House and History
The present-day manor house was built in 1904 by Paul Korff for Hellmuth von Prollius and his wife Toni. The original manor house had burned down around the turn of the century.
Personal and technological events had already connected Stubbendorf to the wider world before this new building was constructed. Ernst Alban married Margarete Wendt, the daughter of a landowner, there in 1820. In 1823, the first steam engine from Stubbendorf was installed at Karnatz’s oil mill in Rostock. The two dates tell of different connections to the place: a wedding in Stubbendorf and a machine that was located in Rostock.
The manor house in Stubbendorf, near Tessin, is one of the manor houses that Korff built anew or redesigned in Mecklenburg in 1903/04. The dates highlight different things: 1904 is the year the present-day house was built; 1903/04 refers to the period of Korff’s work mentioned here. His architectural style is considered unusual for the region.
The Seger couple discovered the manor house in a very dilapidated condition and restored it in accordance with heritage preservation standards, with due regard for sustainability and authenticity. This restoration history adds the later treatment of the historic building to its construction chronology.
Park and Holiday Apartments in the Manor House
The manor house stands in a protected historic park with very old trees. The estate also includes a small wood with imposing beech trees. The history of the house is therefore connected with a mature park and tree landscape. Those interested in historic architecture will find, alongside the building itself, a landscape setting that is part of the context in which the manor house should be understood.
Lovingly furnished and fully equipped holiday apartments are available in Stubbendorf Manor. Those considering a holiday apartment directly in the historic house can combine the building and accommodation in one stay. Check current availability before booking, as the offering may change.
More Traces of History in the Municipality
A notable natural landmark in the municipality is the wild apple tree in Apfelbaumallee. Its age is estimated at around 400 to 500 years. The tree stands approximately halfway between Stubbendorf and Ehmkendorf; it has since split apart. As its condition may change, it is advisable to check the latest information before visiting.
Ehmkendorf, another place within the municipality, has its own manor house history. The manor house there was built around 1790 as a dairy farm belonging to the Stubbendorf estate. The historic Ehmkendorf estate complex is also listed in its entirety as a protected monument. This distinguishes two different periods: the dairy farm in Ehmkendorf from the late 18th century and the present-day Stubbendorf Manor from 1904.
