Gutshaus Stolpe, Stolpe Manor. Historic old Building now used as four-star hotel with Michelin-star restaurant next to the Peene River. Gutshaus Stolpe history: The Stolpe estate was owned by Swedish Royalty after the 30 years war when Pomerania became Swedish - Peace of Westphalia,1648. After the Nordic War and the 1720 Peace of Stockholm, Western Pomerania was divided. The northern part remained Swedish but the part south of the Peene river became Prussian and Stolpe became the personal domain of Friedrich Wilhelm I. His great grandson King Friedrich Wilhelm III sold the estate to the state in 1807. During the following years it changed hands several times until von Bülows bought the property in the 1850s and leased it to tenants. After World War l, Prussian Lieutenant Colonel Hans v. Bülow and his wife Sophie settled on the estate. The couple had no children and after Sophie’s death, Hans Bülow adopted his wife’s niece, Ursula von Maltzan. In 1926, Ursula Bülow-Maltzan married Kurt Stürken, who came from a Hamburg merchant family but had studied agriculture in Göttingen. Kurt Stürken renovated the property and built new farm buildings. Kurt and Ursula Stürken had six children but during the Second World War Ursula Stürken had to manage the estate as her officer husband was away. She fled to Hamburg with her children as the Red Army approached the Oder in1945.
