Historic Buildings in Reinshagen

A listed farm at Dorfstraße 15 comprises a farmhouse, a barn, a livestock building and a pigsty. The Rostock district’s list of listed buildings, dated 14 May 2024, includes the farm with these four building sections. The names distinguish the farmhouse from the barn and livestock buildings, giving an impression of the farm’s multi-part layout.

Two manor houses in Reinshagen also offer points of reference for the area’s architectural history. The manor house on the first farm is presumably a half-timbered building from the 18th century. The manor house on the second farm was also built in the 18th century. The distinction between the two statements is important: the classification of the first house as a half-timbered building is explicitly a supposition, while the construction of the second in that century is stated as fact.

Cycling Through Reinshagen
