Built at the very beginning of the 20th century, the palace has been restored lately so that it remains loyal to the vision of grandeur upon which it was founded as a luxurious rural retreat. Located in vast woods and right on the shore of a large lagoon, Manowce lets you and your guests enjoy far-reaching views over the waters. We look forward to welcoming you soon, so you can see for yourself just how special Manowce really is. PROPERTY
Manowce is a historic property uniquely located in northwestern Poland, surrounded by boundless woods, far from residential areas and set right on the shore of a large bay next to the Baltic Sea.
Despite its remote location, Manowce is only 40 minutes from Szczecin (Stettin) and 2.5 hours from Berlin and its airports. There are direct flights between Berlin and all major cities in Europe plus many cities in America and Asia. It takes one to three hours to fly to Berlin from anywhere in Europe and the tickets are cheap. In addition, the property offers a complimentary shuttle service from and to the Berlin airports for the guests and the couple.
The Manowce Palace at Trzebieradz (known as Haffhorst prior to 1945) was built at the beginning of the 20th century in the neoclassical style. The investor and first owner was Georg Wegner, chief medical officer and director of a hospital in Szczecin. During the Second World War, the property was used by the National Socialist People’s Welfare organization (Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt; NSV) as Gauschule (training centre for party members) and Mutterheim (shelter for mothers). From the end of the 1940s to the beginning of the 1990s the palace served as a summer camp for children.
