History

Like Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, the area around Mollenstorf should be settled too early by Neolithic cultures. This has been proven by countless land discoveries. Far from the road from Mollenstorf to Grobviel, there are three Bronze Age burial mounds preserved as archaeological monuments.

Presumably this place was formerly known as Mollenstorp, Mollenstorf and 1558 Mollenstorf. The church was first mentioned in 1335 and is an early Gothic building in the shape of a rectangle in which the cemetery is built. A free-standing bell tower has two bells from the 14th and 15th centuries on the western side of the church.

In 1764 he bought Justus von Gundlach Gut Mollenstorf. Until 1945, he was in possession of the family. A large two-storey mansion was built around 1880. In 1897 houses of farm workers and barn were built. In 1923 the village was supplied with electricity.
