Attractions and Places To See around Brunow - Top 20

The Lion's Head Bridge was dismantled in 1992 and rebuilt in 1993 (it's a listed building). This is evident from the approximately 1 meter of concrete in the lower section. It was necessary because the clearance height was insufficient due to electrification in the 1980s, and the track was lowered, often flooding during rain. It was my construction site in 1993. It's a great place to visit! Regards, EO

It now belongs to one "investor", but you can move into the castle.

The station was opened for freight traffic in 1853 and for passenger traffic in 1859. From 1911 to 1975 (passenger traffic) and until the early 1990s (freight traffic), Karstädt was a connecting station to the Westprignitz circular railway. The classicist reception building, together with an outbuilding, the goods shed and the paving of the forecourt, is a listed building. It is just a shame that the DB has once again allowed a station building to completely decay.

South of Parchim, in the landscape protection area of the Ruhner mountains, the town of Mentin is located directly on the motorway. Here, on the edge of a small valley, rises a monumental representative mansion. The estate was owned by the von Pressentin family at the end of the 19th century and later came into the possession of Rittmeister Arthur Poensgens, who probably also commissioned the construction of this building. In the years 1912 to 1913 the so-called "Mentin Castle" was built in the Baroque style with Art Nouveau elements according to plans by the architect Paul Korff. In 1916 the Neuerburg family from Hamburg acquired the estate. After World War II, the manor house served as a children's home until 1996. From the manor house, a flight of stairs and subsequent spacious garden terraces lead to the extensive park, which is unfortunately overgrown today. After 1996 there were plans to set up a hotel with an automobile museum in the manor house. This plan was abandoned and in 2007 the building was still empty. The mansion was renovated in 2013. After a brief use as a museum, the mansion is still empty and for sale (as of 08/2021). The distillery and a number of farm buildings made of field stones and bricks have been preserved from the former farm yard, some of which have now been converted into apartments, others are empty. https://gutshaeuser.de/de/guts_herrenhaeuser/gutshaeuser_m/gutshaus_herrenhaus_schloss_mentin

The Löwenkopfbrücke is a bridge over the Berlin-Hamburg railway near Streesow. The listed bridge from the early days of the railways, built in 1846, is one of the oldest bridges over railway lines, possibly even the oldest surviving bridge over railway lines in Germany.

Sparingly structured neo-Gothic brick building from 1895, with a short, flat-closed choir and symmetrical extensions. The west end laid out as an unfinished double tower facade. The new building replacement for an older previous building from the 17th century, this one in half-timbered with brick roofing. The former boarded-up west tower with wood shingle roofing probably dates back to the 15th century.
