On the edge of Finowfurt, ‘’big things don’t cast a shadow’’. The castle estate is still asleep like ‘Sleeping Beauty. The property is in the process of being developed near the banks of the Finow. What will happen in the next three years? A hotel in the historic manor house with 35 rooms. Artist studios for creative breaks. Multigenerational living in ecological wood buildings. A restaurant, a garden café, a boat rental and a shop offering regional products. Already this summer,’Pop-Up’ dinners, and a regular ‘Treidelmarkt’ market as the facilities are carefully revitalized. All this will happen with care and a holistic approach, in close dialogue with the people and community of Finowfurt, a possible example, the University for Sustainable Development in Eberswalde (HNEE).
