Gutshaus Ludorf

Gutshaus Ludorf is a manor house in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern featuring distinctive Danish Clinker Brick Renaissance design with two stories and fourteen window sections running across its front. The building rises prominently from its landscape setting, with its brick patterns and proportions reflecting the architectural traditions of Northern Europe.

The von Knuth family built this residence between 1695 and 1698, incorporating stone from the ruins of nearby Morin Castle into its foundation. This construction date places it within the late Baroque period, when such estates served as symbols of regional power and landholding.

The baroque hall contains restored ceiling paintings depicting hunting scenes, uncovered during renovations in the late 1990s. These artworks show how the family displayed their status and interests through decoration.

The property now operates as a hotel offering overnight accommodation and event spaces for guests throughout the year. Visitors can explore the grounds and interior during their stay or attend special functions held at the location.

A chapel stands adjacent to the manor, designed after the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, serving as a family burial site. Inside rests the von Knuth family tomb holding nine oak coffins, creating a rare religious connection to the Holy Land in this remote region.
