The place was first mentioned in documents in 1205 and belonged to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg until 1566 . It belieh in the 16th century the Jüterboger Amtshauptmann Georg von of Thümen with the location. His son sold it in 1583 to the Jüterbog city judge Joachim von Seelen. During the Thirty Years War the village was destroyed by the invasion of Swedish troops. The von Seelen family was forced to sell parts of Graefendorf in 1670; two years later the entire property was lost.

18th century

In the following decades the owners changed until 1713 the place came back to the von Thümen family under Christian Wilhelm von Thümen. A manor house , Schloss Gräfendorf, is said to have been built under his leadership in 1723 . The building must have been completed in 1728, because that year his daughter married Count Adolph Ludwig zu Solms at Schloss Gräfendorf . Christian Wilhelm died in 1741 and the place went to his brother August Christian Johann.

19th to 21st century

At the beginning of the 19th century there was a windmill, a farrier, its own brewery and brandy distillery, as well as a brickworks and an innkeeper. At that time Johann Gottlieb Koppe was the manager of the estate, who contributed to a considerable increase in productivity with his work. Around 1880 the manor house was extended by three axes on each side, new windows were installed and the building received a tower with a clock on the courtyard side. From 1891 the village of Kirchendorf became a manor and sheep farm.

The baroque manor palace was demolished in the course of the land reform based on SMAD order No. 209 in 1947. The manor park with its old trees and a large pond has been preserved. On December 31, 1997, Graefendorf, Borgisdorf, Hohenahlsdorf, Hohengörsdorf, Meinsdorf, Nonnendorf, Reinsdorf, Riesdorf, Schlenzer, Sernow, Waltersdorf Welsickendorf, Werbig and Wiepersorf merged to form the Niederer Fläming community.
