The rooms
Rooms have soaped timber floorboards and high ceilings, with pale furnishings and heated bathroom floors.
The saunas
Two saunas sit beneath vaulted red brick, and arched alcoves hold tiled Kneipp foot baths.
The quiet room
Padded loungers fill the quiet room, where glass doors open directly into the park for fresh air.
Restaurant Schloss Gamehl
The grand hall hosts candlelit evening service under tall stucco ceilings, with multi-course menus of regional Mecklenburg dishes.
At the table
Breakfast is served in the bright winter garden and adjoining salon, looking across the lawn to the pond.
How it began
The von Stralendorff family held the land from 1386, and a direct descendant bought back the manor in 2000 to restore it.
