Rudolf Count Finck von Finckenstein had the count's villa built in 1880. It was supposed to be his retirement home, but it never came to that. The first resident after his death was his third wife, Countess Luise von Bernstorff from Gartow an der Elbe. Granddaughter Gertrud later lived there with her husband Curt Adolf von Wittich and their children until they moved to the castle in 1939. After the war, the after-school care center, a meeting room and a library were housed until 1962. Later, the village barber lived in the basement, apartments were set up upstairs and the ground floor was occupied by the mayor and administration. The building only regained its decorative appearance when Günther Alexander von Wittich returned to the place of his childhood after reunification, bought back the villa and renovated it.
