Warlitz: Village Church, Manor House and Goldenitz Estate House

Warlitz offers a cultural and historical focus for anyone looking for a hotel. The village church, manor house and Goldenitz estate house represent different periods of construction and architectural styles. The area also features parks, a cycling route to sacred buildings and a professional apiary.

Village Church and Cycling Route to Sacred Buildings

The late Baroque Warlitz village church was built between 1765 and 1768. Its organ was made by organ builder Johann Georg Stein. The building stands on an octagonal churchyard surrounded by old lime trees. The description of the shape refers to the churchyard, not the church’s floor plan—a distinction that helps when understanding the site. The construction period, organ and churchyard thus offer several historical and architectural points of interest. The village church is also part of the cycling route to sacred buildings. Those interested in church architecture can include a cycling route with this theme in their travel plans.

Warlitz Manor House and Park

Warlitz Manor House was built in 1620 by Danish Colonel von Pentz. It is set in a park of approximately three hectares, with a small lake and a moat. The approximate size and the two water features describe the park alongside the manor house’s history. The details also make it possible to compare its date with that of the village church, which was built between 1765 and 1768. Warlitz is thus home to buildings from markedly different periods.

Goldenitz Estate House and Park

Goldenitz Estate House is a two-storey rendered building on a raised basement, with eight bays. The bays divide the façade and give its exterior a regular structure. Hellmuth von Könemann had the estate house built around 1860; its Tudor-style architect was Heinrich Gustav Thormann. This approximate date is considerably later than the 1620 construction of the manor house, making the two estates different in age as well. A well-maintained park surrounds the estate house and the coach house, with a large pond on the south side and numerous old trees. The building and park offer different aspects of architectural and garden history.

Professional Apiary at Warlitz Castle

At Warlitz Castle, a professional apiary, visitors can learn about bee products. Visits are possible only by prior arrangement after a brief phone call. Bear this condition in mind when planning a visit.

Culture in the Wider Ludwigslust-Parchim Destination

In the wider Ludwigslust-Parchim destination, Ludwigslust Palace offers another point of cultural and historical interest. It was the former residence of the dukes of Mecklenburg and, together with its park and town, forms an ensemble known as the “Little Versailles of the North.” The almost completely preserved late Baroque town layout includes a former court church and an English-style landscape park. Ludwigslust Palace presents art and courtly domestic culture from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
