The Ranzin manor house dates back to a manor house from the 14th century. Completely destroyed by fire in 1875 and rebuilt a short time later and subsequently referred to as a castle. After the Second World War, the castle was expropriated and subsequently used as a retirement home, vocational school and apprentices' home. Only after the fall of the Wall could a new owner be found, who had the manor house converted and renovated and has been running a hotel ever since.
