Wrangelsburg: Paper Art, Manor House and Landscape Park

Make Paper, Discover Type

The “Papier und Druck” association makes plant-based, laid and recycled papers by hand at the Wrangelsburg paper workshop. The different types of paper sit side by side, with handmade paper and its design remaining at the heart of the work. The workshop also includes a studio where traditional wooden and metal type is made and paper is printed. Paper-making and the printing trade thus go hand in hand here.

Visitors can make their own paper from natural materials in the workshops. If you plan to do so, check the current visiting and participation arrangements before your visit. This is especially helpful if paper-making is to be a set part of your stay. The adjoining gallery brings together paper art and painting, broadening the focus from the material itself to its artistic use.

The workshop offers a clear thematic highlight for your holiday planning: it is not just about finished paper works, but also about the craft, type and printing. The gallery adds paper art and painting to this focus. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Wrangelsburg, you can consider whether you would like to focus your stay mainly on these cultural experiences or more on the surrounding landscape.

Manor House, Schlosssee and Trails into the Forest

The present-day manor house in Wrangelsburg was built around 1880. It is privately owned, so check visiting arrangements in advance if you plan to see the building. The landscape park extends over about three hectares along the southern shore of Schlosssee. Walking trails lead into the forest from the grounds around the manor house and landscape park.

The options are easy to distinguish when planning your day: making your own paper is the focus at the paper workshop, while trails from the manor house and park lead into the forest. The lakeside park and walking trails complement the cultural themes with a landscape perspective. When choosing a holiday apartment in Wrangelsburg, you can decide which of these local highlights you would like to shape your stay—without combining the different offerings into a single excursion itinerary.

More themes in the wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald

The wider destination of Vorpommern-Greifswald offers themes beyond Wrangelsburg. The district’s three nature parks cover almost 40 percent of its area. The Ueckermünde Heath is ideal for hiking, cycling and horse riding. Cycling options for exploring the district include the Baltic Sea Cycle Route, part of the EuroVelo EV10 route, the Stettiner Haff Circular Route and the North German Romanticism Route.

The museums offer a range of different experiences, too. The Juliett U-461 is moored in Peenemünde harbour as a museum that visitors can explore on a tour. The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald displays the Croy Tapestry from 1554, a unique cultural and historical testament from the Reformation era. In Anklam, the Otto Lilienthal Museum is dedicated to the aviation pioneer, mechanical engineer and humanist Otto Lilienthal; it is a technical museum devoted to a person, in his hometown.

The Ueckermünde Zoo and Ukranenland Torgelow offer further specific experiences. The zoo is home to more than 1,120 native and exotic animals across 95 species, with feeding demonstrations every day. Numbers and daily schedules can change, so it is worth checking the latest information before visiting. On a boat trip at Ukranenland, visitors use the first Slavic boat to be reconstructed in Germany and must row themselves. In Greifswald, meanwhile, a culinary tour takes visitors through the historic old town to four restaurants offering sweet and savoury treats. These regional themes can add to your choice of nature, culture, activity and food when planning a stay in the wider destination.
