History
Weissenhaus is a Baltic-coast estate whose manor house was founded in 1607 by the Pogwisch family; a fire in 1895 destroyed much of it down to the 350-year-old cellar vaults, which survive. Owned by the von Platen Hallermund family for eight generations from 1735, the estate later served as a boarding school between 1952 and 1975.
Entrepreneur Jan Henric Buettner bought the 75-hectare estate in 2005 and completed a painstaking restoration, opening it in July 2014 as the Weissenhaus Grand Village Resort & Spa by the sea. It joined Relais & Châteaux in 2018 and was rebranded as Weissenhaus Private Nature Luxury Resort in 2023.
