The family
In 1292 a Jakob von Dersentin is mentioned, squire to the prince at Werle Castle. Around 1840 Heinrich von Bassewitz builds the manor house in the classicist style. In 1945 more than 100 refugees are housed here, later a doctor's surgery.
After German reunification the house finds new owners who bring it back to its old glory step by step: Adriana and Sönke Johannsen, with Estancia spirit from Argentina, tiled stoves from Mecklenburg and a lot of mortar.
