Murchin: Village Church, Manor House and Distillery
Accommodation in Murchin
Anyone wishing to discover Murchin can focus on specific themes: Pinnow Village Church, Freudenfeuer Distillery and Libnow Manor House. These places represent church visits, fruit brandy and historic architecture. For your planning, the distinction is important: the church is accessible only by prior arrangement; the distillery and the manor house offer their own points of interest for those interested in production and architectural history.
Church, Fruit Brandy and Manor House in Murchin
Visits to Pinnow Village Church are possible only by prior arrangement. Please register in advance and confirm the arrangement again before your visit. This ensures that the applicable visiting condition is taken into account in your planning.
In Libnow, Freudenfeuer Distillery produces fruit brandies in small batches. Its small production volume is a specific part of its profile. If you are interested in fruit brandies, the distillery provides a different thematic focus from the history of the manor house.
Following extensive renovation and restoration to its 1860 condition, Libnow Manor House has regained its former splendour. Its historic condition shapes the impression of the building: the focus is on its restored appearance, not on any single feature. Those interested in architectural history will find a different way to explore Libnow here than through the production of fruit brandies.
Music is also part of the manor house’s cultural profile. Its concert hall hosts the “Herrenhauskonzerte” (Manor House Concerts), featuring renowned musicians from Germany and abroad. If you are considering attending a concert, check the individual dates in advance. The concert series connects the manor house as a historic place with a dedicated musical event.

A different kind of experience is offered by boat trips in Ukranenland Torgelow: they use the first Slavic boat reconstructed in Germany, and participants have to row themselves. This is a specific feature of the trip and an important difference from an excursion where you simply take a seat on board.
