Gutshaus Klein Strömkendorf

Salzhaff, Germany, Germany

---

Gutshaus Klein Strömkendorf is a picturesque two-story plastered brick manor house in the Salzhaff area near the Baltic Sea, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, between Wismar and the beach resort of Rerik.

First documented on May 13, 1296, when acquired by Mecklenburg lords Heinrich II and Johann III, it passed through noble families like von Stralendorff in the 17th century, von Bülow from 1772-1788, and finally to farmer Ernst Staunau, who built the current structure from 1841 to 1850.

After post-WWII use as refugee housing and subsequent decay, it was restored post-1989 by entrepreneurs and now operates as the Ostsee-Gutshaus hotel with preserved outbuildings like the coach house and stables, offering vacation stays amid its private woods just 1 km from the sea.
