Klempenow Castle

Castles in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Klempenow Castle (German: Burg Klempenow) is a castle in Breest municipality, Germany. The castle was built during the time of German settlement in Pomerania in the 13th century and formed part of a series of fortifications on the border with Mecklenburg. The original castle consisted of two towers and a three-metre thick defensive wall. It has been substantially altered since its initial construction. During the 17th century, it acquired more or less its present shape and appearance. When Pomerania was ruled by Sweden, the castle was given as a fief to Dodo zu Innhausen und Knyphausen by the Swedish king. From 1762, it belonged to the Swedish Crown. It has since housed several different residents; after World War II, it housed refugees expelled from former German lands and at one time as many as fourteen families lived in the castle. After 1990, a renovation of the castle was carried out.

Dannenfeldt Mausoleum

The Dannenfeldt Mausoleum is a historical building and tourist attraction across the road from the 15th-century late Gothic village church in Mönchow, Usedom, Germany. The small cemetery that accompanies the Mönchow church is the final resting place of the Dannenfeldt family. Carl Dannenfeldt commissioned a master mason from Swinemünde named Pistorius to build a mausoleum in the churchyard. The mausoleum, which was completed in 1891, cost the Dannenfeldts 25,000 gold Marks. The mausoleum houses three rooms with the walls made out of stucco. The outside walls are made out of red brick and the overall design is a Baroque style. There are cherubs that decorate the outside, with "Dannenfeldt" inscribed onto them. Descriptions of the mausoleum include "magnificent", "classical" and "remarkable". While elegant, the building has also been described as "pompous" and "grandiose" compared to the church and village that it was built in because of the extravagance of design and associated cost. The mausoleum is considered an attraction for those that are visiting the island of Usedom. The grounds are unrestricted but there is no public access to enter the mausoleum. Currently, the mausoleum is not funded by the Dannenfeldt family or relatives for the restoration it needs.
