Gotthun on the Müritz
Accommodation in Gotthun
Gotthun lies right on the Müritz, Germany’s largest inland lake, and has direct access to the water. This means you can choose from lakeside activities as well as cultural attractions in the village. If you are looking for accommodation in Gotthun, you can consider whether water activities, lakeside paths or Mecklenburg traditions should shape your stay. Options range from pitches at two campsites to opportunities for sailing, surfing and fishing.
Manor house, lime avenue and milling history
The manor house is a cultural landmark in Gotthun. Built in 1826 as a single-storey rendered building, it is now the cultural centre of the village. The CJD Traditionswerkstätten (traditional workshops) are housed in the manor house, where Mecklenburg traditions are kept alive. The workshops are open to all guests. If you would like to learn about regional traditions as well as enjoy the lake, you will find a place to do so in the village.
Gotthun’s magnificent lime avenue is considered a village landmark. Like the manor house, it is part of the village’s character, although the two offer different kinds of visitor experience: the manor house is home to the traditional workshops, while the avenue is a striking feature of the village. The Schamper Mill is also near Gotthun. A watermill stood there until 1810. A Dutch-style windmill was built in 1810 and remained in use until 1965; it is now a listed monument. The history of the mill adds another distinct topic to the story of the village.

The Müritz hiking trail also circles the lake, passing through Müritz National Park and right by the Nitschow and Hirschberg campsites near Gotthun.

Enjoy the water and getting here
