Kerzendorf Castle Gate

The gate is a relic of the Kerzendorfer Gut (castle). The manorial building, popularly known as a castle, was a Brandenburg manor or manor house. It was built in the 18th century, the exact construction time is not known. Most likely it was built by the le Duchat de Dorville family from 1756, because the previous owners had their respective residences in other communities in the vicinity. The estate also included other buildings such as the so-called cavalier's house, the estate manager's house, the stables with a 25 m high water tower, the gardener's and later forester's house, greenhouses and other outbuildings, farmhouses and stables.The mansion was almost completely destroyed by fire bombs in September 1943 and the ruins were demolished. Other parts of the old estate are still preserved, e.g. B. the estate manager's house, parts of the stables, the gardener's house and stables and the castle gate. The gate was rebuilt in summer 2009 as part of restoration work.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerzendorf_(Ludwigsfelde)#Bodendenkmale
