Attractions and Places To See around Rosenow - Top 20

We enter the zoo and reach the 1,000-year-old oak trees, Germany's first national monument. After a few meters we see the first animals. The small baroque pavilion is a real gem, with a special exhibition on hunting inside. When we leave again, we are greeted by fallow deer. We are really impressed by the animals running around freely, with information boards to read. We explore the grounds and find the crispy ponds, 700 to 800 years old. Looking around us, the forest as a whole is impressive. We are standing in the middle of a pasture forest, a forest pasture that was used by the Slavs for livestock 1,000 years ago. The forest is the result of this long use. The Turopolje pigs are not showing themselves today. https://youtu.be/OTc4Ax3iIn8

In the 12th century, work began on building a church in Ankershagen in the Romanesque style that was common at the time. This is why one of the oldest surviving fieldstone churches in Mecklenburg can be found in Ankershagen today. The church was renovated in the middle of the 13th century. It was given its current form through a reconstruction that probably also led to an extension. It was renovated in the Gothic style, but Romanesque elements were retained. http://www.ankershagen.de/kirche.html

The Heinrich Schliemann Museum was established in 1980. It is dedicated to the most famous son of Ankershagen, Heinrich Schliemann, the world-famous excavator of the ancient cities of Troy, Mycenae and Tiryns. The Schliemann Museum is one of the most important museums in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. After Berlin, it has the most extensive material and scientific collection on the famous archaeologist. In his autobiography, Schliemann writes that he had already made the decision to search for and excavate Troy at the age of eight. His childhood experiences in Ankershagen must have had a great influence on his later life. Ankershagen can point to a long history, a rich world of legends, a knight's castle and many witnesses from ancient times. They obviously permanently inspired the imagination of the young Heinrich Schliemann. ankershagen.de/heinrich-schliemann.html

The church is one of the oldest surviving fieldstone churches in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (consecrated in 1266, the choir may date from this period). It stands in the middle of a cemetery surrounded by a fieldstone wall, opposite the Heinrich Schliemann Museum.

The 1,000-year-old Ivenacker oaks are part of the Ivenacker zoo. They are the cultural and natural history highlight of the area. The Ivenacker zoo is located in the landscape conservation area of the same name. The area lies 40 to 50 meters above sea level in the gently undulating ground moraine and was geologically shaped by the Pomeranian stage of the Vistula glaciation. Fallow deer have been kept in Ivenack since the 17th century. Around 100 animals live on 70 hectares. Because deer and visitors are in the same enclosure, the impression of the wild is largely preserved. The area is also home to four wild horses. https://www.auf-nach-mv.de/reiseziele/a-nationales-naturmonument-ivenacker-eichen
