Gutshaus Gross Markow - Idyllischer Schllossurlaub in Norddeutschland
This manor house is situated in a rural setting on the edge of a small village, almost hidden behind large trees. In the 19th century, this house was the centre of the noble society formed around the von Levetzows.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the manor house was completely restored and converted into a popular venue for celebrations and a holiday destination. In front of the main entrance, there is a round area with lawn and sun loungers. At the house's rear, there is a small terrace with garden furniture where you can enjoy the view. Parking spaces are located in front of the property for 5 cars and another 5 cars on the further property.

Enjoy a holiday at the castle and experience history up close
The old and venerable manor house Groß Markow is located on the edge of the ‘Mecklenburgische Schweiz’, not far from the Kummerower See. A beautiful landscape - hilly, covered with forests and fields - can be found in the surroundings of our small ‘castle’, which is ideal for family holidays, group trips, weddings or business events.
The small village of Groß Markow is about 13 km northeast of Teterow on the country road to Neukalen. South of the village, the Peene flows toward Lake Kummerow.
Southeast of Groß Markow, in the direction of the Peene, are the remains of a tower hill castle. This hill, with its four oaks, can be easily recognised from afar. This castle was probably also the residence of the princely reeve Arnold Levetzow.
The actual estate village was established later at its present location. Some of the half-timbered houses that still exist today date back to the 19th century and have been lovingly restored. The manor house was built in 1829 as a simple plaster building in the classical style.
The von Levitzow family owned Groß Markow until 1945. After the Second World War, the former manor house became a refugee shelter, a branch of the Teterow Hospital and, from 1965 until the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was a nursing home.
The manor house has been renovated with great attention to detail and at great expense and is now available to national and international guests. Find out more about the wonderful furnishings of the manor house here!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Goethe moved in the same circles as Ulrike von Levetzow's mother, the daughter of the owner of Groß Markow, in fashionable Marienbad. It was there that he met Ulrike. Despite being 72 years old, he immediately fell in love with the 17-year-old young lady and then proposed to her when she was 18 years old.
In summer of 1823, he wrote to Ulrike:
‘If we are blamed for loving each other, we must not betray each other. Blame is not love's power; it may be other things' worth. No failure, no scolding, makes love blameworthy.’
She initially took the marriage proposal that Goethe had extended through the Grand Duke Carl August of Weimar in the summer of 1823 as a joke, although Carl August generously bolstered it by offering a large widow's pension of 10,000 talers annually. Amalie von Levetzow advised her daughter in this unusual and delicate situation with motherly wisdom, without paternalism, and recommended careful consideration. Ulrike, however, ‘did not feel like getting married at all’ and did not think she needed time to think about it. She loved Goethe like a father, but he was looked after by his son August and August's wife Ottilie in Weimar and therefore did not need her. As naturally as she associated with Goethe, she rejected his proposal and remained unmarried.
Goethe's courtship for the hand of Ulrike became one of the great social scandals of his time. It is thanks to his feelings for Ulrike that posterity owes the ‘Marienbad Elegy’, a harrowing testimony to his pain at the loss of Ulrike.
The room in the manor house where Ulrike von Lewentzow lived has now been restored to its original period furnishings. History you can touch – possible at any time in the manor house at Groß Markow!
