The castle in the wilderness. In Rossewitz, there is only one other house. The castle was built after the Thirty Years' War – you can still see it in the ornaments. If you come in as part of a guided tour: The ballroom extends over one and a half floors, with a half mezzanine level. A piece of illusionistic architectural painting from 1680 has also been preserved. A detailed description: www.gutshaeuser.de

Polchow lay on Mecklenburg's oldest trade route, the Via Regia, which ran through this area 1,000 years ago and was already used by Slavic and Arab traders. The church in Polchow was built between 1888 and 1891 by Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel and is a neo-Gothic brick building with a recessed choir and a west tower, constructed over a three-year period. The choir windows depict the apostles Peter and Paul. The stone epitaph depicts the Crucifixion in its center, flanked by kneeling family members turning toward the scene of the crucifixion. Above it is the Resurrection. The old linden tree in the cemetery was declared a natural monument in 1937 and is considered the oldest linden tree in Mecklenburg. As early as 1886, its circumference was given as 13 meters.

Dalwitz was a manor village. Since 1349, the land around Dalwitz has been owned by the Counts of Bassewitz. Starting in 1992, Count Heinrich Bassewitz expanded the Dalwitz estate into an organic farm. The farm received the Agricultural Culture Prize in 1999 and the Thünen Medal in 2001. The manor house, built in the Swedish country house style in 1726, was remodeled and expanded in the Tudor style in 1855. After 1992, vacation apartments were built on the estate, as well as a riding stable with a riding facility and a restaurant. This offers numerous options for vacationers. The farm shop and the excellent restaurant "La Remise" offer supplies, as does the nearby small shop "Ihre Kette."

Here you can discover all the important sights of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania within a few hours. The 1:25 scale models of castles, churches and other well-known buildings are really worth seeing. Even the garden landscape, in which the models are set up in their original locations, is based on the federal state - you can walk from the Baltic Sea to the Mecklenburg Lake District in just a few steps. A great tour for the whole family, because there are also exciting boards with different tasks for the kids, an adventure playground and a walk-in railway.
