Klein Kussewitz: Manor House, History and Village Festivals

Two specific themes go hand in hand when planning a trip to Klein Kussewitz: the manor house, its history and apartments, and the village festivals held annually. The building’s history can be considered independently of individual event dates; for a festival, however, the programme determines when a visit is worthwhile. This lets you combine the reason for your trip with accommodation details and village life.

The Manor House: History and Accommodation

Klein Kussewitz Manor House was first mentioned in official records in 1704. A municipal planning document dated 22 January 2024 lists it as one of the three listed buildings in Klein Kussewitz. The plan also describes the extensively renovated house as a venue and hotel. If a specific event is central to your trip, check the current event packages separately.

The manor house has six apartments with space for up to 14 guests. The communal area in the basement, which guests can use, includes a fireplace room, a table tennis room and a wellness area. For a group trip, the number of apartments and the maximum number of guests provide a clear indication of capacity; the listed rooms offer further information about the house’s communal spaces. The capacity helps you assess the possible group size, while the communal rooms provide another detail about the stay.

Annual Village Festivals in Klein Kussewitz

Annual village festivals in Klein Kussewitz feature activities for children, music and food; the exact dates vary. If you want the festival to determine the timing of your trip, check the date in advance. This lets you distinguish the recurring occasion from the specific edition that matters for your travel dates.

Bentwisch: Regional Context

Bentwisch lies about three kilometres northeast of the university and Hanseatic city of Rostock. The village is located at the intersection of the A19 motorway and the B105 federal highway, and close to the Warnow River and the Baltic Sea.

Bentwisch Church is the oldest building in the village. Construction of the present-day church began shortly after 1300; the Gothic brick building, built on granite and fieldstone foundations, was completed between 1350 and 1370. This gives two different points of reference for putting the buildings in context: for the manor house in Klein Kussewitz, the key date is its first mention in official records in 1704; for Bentwisch Church, it is the longer construction history, from the start of building to completion.

One example from the past is the traditional village festival in Bentwisch, which was held on 3 and 4 July 2026 on the festival grounds. The festival included open-air dancing from 7:30 p.m. for guests aged 16 and over; younger guests could enjoy pony rides, glitter tattoos and face painting.

The courtyard café at Bentwisch Rectory serves homemade cakes and aromatic coffee. Guests are invited to enjoy a relaxing afternoon with friends, good company and a slice of cake. The church and courtyard café thus add historical and culinary landmarks to the regional context.
