Once a magnificent mansion in a bombastic location, today unfortunately just a lost place. The first manor house was built in 1700 by Johann Gottfried von Rauchhaupt over the foundations of the old castle complex and was integrated into the west wing of the three-wing complex during a later expansion. This first building was an oblong, single-story half-timbered building with exposed brick infill[5]. This construction method was very unusual for the time as it required weather-resistant bricks, which were very scarce in Brandenburg at the time[3].
Ruins of the manor house in 2018.
The extension to a three-wing complex was carried out around 1778[16] by Hans Ehrenreich von Bornstedt, also in half-timbered construction, but the mansion remained single-story and quite plain as a simple structure with a half-hipped roof[3]. There is a picture of this phase of the manor house from the Duncker Collection.
In 1928, the middle wing received massive, gable-crowned, three-axis central projections on the courtyard and park sides. The compartments of the east and middle wings were probably walled up and plastered in this context. The building received a mansard roof. At the beginning of the 1990s, a Berlin management consultant acquired the property with the aim of setting up a tourism education center. However, the project failed and the renovation was only partially begun. Since then, the manor house has been empty and falling into disrepair. At the beginning of 2018 there was a new interested party for the manor house, which represented the community's last hope of preserving the building.
