context_page_description: Schloss Bröllin is an 800-year-old heritage protected estate in the German region of Vorpommern, approximately 30 km from the Polish border. It is one of the few estates in the area which is preserved as a whole, and thereby also an important testament of the development of agricultural production in the region. It is listed as a Baudenkmal in the municipality of Fahrenwalde.
  The name can be somewhat misleading: Schloss Bröllin is not really a castle, but an old manor house. The tower of the manor house inspired the villagers to start using the name “Schloss” in the 1970s, and it has stuck to the place ever since.
context_section_description: The estate covers about 50.000 m2 of land. The old farm buildings form an enclosed quadrangle with the granary in the centre. Next to it is the old distillery, which was built after Stoewahs purchased the estate in 1854.
  The manor house is the oldest building on the estate, situated on the eastern edge. The first part of the building was built at the start of the 18th century, whereas the southern part with the tower was added in 1890. A cobblestone church from 1888 also belongs to the estate, and is part of the Brüssow parish.
  Today, the manor houses the permanent residents and volunteers, as well as the administration, offices, the common room and a small library. Behind the manor house, the estate garden looks to the east, and nearby is both the ice cellar and an old beehive.
  The former sheep stable stretches 100 m along the northern edge, and is mainly used as a storage space. On the western end is a workshop and the former riding hall with concrete floor and high ceiling.
  To the south, the former bull stable is now the German-Polish Centre, which was fully renovated in 2005-2006 to become a multifunctional centre with facilities for rehearsal, workshops, and conferences. Another former bull stable holds three studio spaces with dance floors, used for rehearsals and productions.
