Rothenklempenow Manor

In 1295, the castrum clempenowe, founded by the Lords of Eickstedt (Knight Friedrich von Eickstedt † 1309), was first mentioned in a document. Clempenowe was one of the northern border castles along the Randowbruch. The Randow lowlands with its lakes formed a natural border between Pomerania and Brandenburg for several centuries. The estate of the noble family von Eickstedt was repeatedly occupied by Swedish, imperial, and Polish troops in the following centuries.

The manor house was built in 1609 by Hans von Eickstedt, who abandoned the castle as a residence. During the Thirty Years' War between 1625 and 1640, Rothenklempenow was almost completely burned down during various occupations, and the knight's estate of Mewegen was destroyed. Georg and Dorothea von Eickstedt endowed the church in 1638. Also in 1806/07, during the war of Napoleon Bonaparte against Russia and Prussia, the village was devastatingly plundered. In 1761, the current manor house was built in half-timbered style with clay plaster. The extensive further estate facilities were built between 1850 and 1860, predominantly in half-timbered style. After the last construction phase, the estate's own brickworks also ceased production. However, schnapps made from potatoes and grain was distilled in the distillery until the 1950s. In 1866, there were many victims due to a cholera epidemic.

Until 1934, the count's estate existed, which was then divided into 41 individual farm settlements. These were merged into an Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) in 1952. The houses, especially the manor house, increasingly fell into disrepair.

Since 1993, the historic village center has been thoroughly renovated, partly within the framework of urban development funding. During the renovation in 1995-98, the old red paint layers with the painted brick grid were uncovered and made visible on the manor house. A "European Youth Workshop" was opened in the renovated castle.
