Tips from the Community
The large, flat-roofed fieldstone church with a rectangular floor plan and a west tower approximately 45 meters high was built in the mid- to late 13th century and rebuilt after suffering severe damage during the Thirty Years' War. The striking tower top with its cupola, lantern, angel, and the inscription "GLORIA" was erected between 1732 and 1735 at the initiative of the church's patron, Carl Friedrich von Sydow Jr., after the nave had been structurally reinforced. Later alterations, particularly during the GDR era, affected the windows, galleries, and interior. The church has been a listed building since 1984 and, after a long period of neglect, was finally able to undergo extensive restoration between 1998 and 2001. You'll find a diamond-shaped stone at the northeast corner, though it's embedded quite high up in the structure.

The gate to Pargowo was locked yesterday (wire and cable ties) and a sign read "Crossing the state border prohibited"!

The fieldstone church was built in the 13th century as a rectangular hall structure. A fire in 1876 necessitated a thorough reconstruction. The building received a richly decorated tower with corner turrets, a recessed lantern, and an open balustrade. The neo-Gothic furnishings from 1878 have been fully preserved, including the choir stalls, gallery, altar, baptismal font, and surrounding frieze.

The fieldstone hall with a flat roof was built in the second half of the 13th century. After partial destruction in the mid-19th century, the church was rebuilt in 1856. A three-sided choir and a brick tower were added to the eastern end. In 1936, a mortuary was added to the north side. The spire dates from the 1970s. The striking features include massive supporting pillars on the western side and a very narrow entrance. The simple interior design dates from the second half of the 19th century. The church houses a historic Grüneberg organ from 1888. The tower houses a historic bell from 1856, from the workshop of the Szczecin bell founder Carl-Friedrich Voss.

Since 1756, Blumberg Manor has been owned by the von der Osten family. In 1792, a three-winged manor house was built, and by 1849, numerous architecturally refined outbuildings had been constructed. After 1945, Blumberg became a state-owned estate (VEG); apartments, a factory kitchen, a kindergarten, a municipal office, and a restaurant were built within the manor. In 1996, the von der Osten family acquired the manor house with its courtyard and former manor park and gradually renovated the building and park. The central building of the manor house currently serves as the von der Osten family residence; the south wing, with its ballroom, can be used for events. Development plans for the remaining parts of the house and estate (equestrian center, horse boarding house, holiday apartments, art studios, and apartments) already exist, but the owners are also open to ideas from potential investors. The manor is open to visitors.
