The historic building at “Dorfstraße 33,” located in the town center, likely served originally as a “parish widow’s home” and was built in the early 19th century. However, due to the turmoil of the world wars and the post-reunification period, very few records regarding the building’s history remain. We acquired the building in 2015 and lovingly restored and modernized it completely by 2023. All work was carried out by our team of five and by local master craftsmen.
Today, the house offers contemporary comforts. The focus of the restoration was on preserving the original fieldstone foundation and providing a modern interpretation of the classic façade design. Large sections of the roof truss, parts of which are still exposed, were also preserved in their original condition.
The historic goat barn in the building’s courtyard was rebuilt over the course of more than two years by refurbishing historic architectural elements and thoroughly renovating the entire masonry structure. Today, part of it is used as a bicycle storage room for our guests.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is arguably Germany’s most scenic state, with a coastline stretching 1,945 km. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, you’ll find everything you need for a dream vacation. Its proximity to the island of Usedom guarantees top-notch cuisine and beautiful beaches. But even here on the “mainland side,” you’ll find features that are rather rare these days: for example, a 144-hectare moorland landscape that is home to beavers, wild geese, herons, and many rare bird species. Large and small game—badgers, raccoon dogs, and raccoons—can also be spotted here. The unique moorland landscape is perfect for hiking, biking, and picnicking. On “our” mainland side, just about a 15-minute drive away, is the renowned Relais & Châteaux Gutshaus Stolpe, whose cuisine has just been awarded a MICHELIN star; the estate also includes the old Fährkrug, situated directly on the banks of the Peene River, where you can dine and relax in a casual atmosphere.
The bicycle ferry to the island of Usedom is accessible via a direct route from Bargischow. In just 15 minutes (by bike), you can reach the “Kamp” harbor, where you can relax with fish sandwiches (from a local smokehouse) as well as sodas, beer, sparkling wine, or coffee and cake. The ferry ride to the island of Usedom takes just a few minutes. The ferry route runs right past the historic “Karnin Bridge” and ends directly in the village of Karnin.
Among the most popular recreational activities in the region are a visit to the bison reserve on the island of Usedom and exploring the charming Peene River landscape by pedal boat, paddleboat, or kayak. The Hanseatic city of Anklam, with its famous Otto Lilienthal Museum, the historic city wall housing the Anklam City Museum, and various recreational facilities (indoor swimming pool, city park with animal enclosure, a variety of dining options, and a weekly market), is just 4 km away.
There you’ll also find all your shopping needs: Lidl, Aldi, Penny, Norma, a beverage store, Famila, Deichmann, the post office, DM drugstore, an optician, a bookstore, and several clothing stores.
