The manor house is located on a former Slavic rampart on a 24 hectare property in the village of Golchen, surrounded by three lakes . The rampart consists of two almost circular ramparts that are bordered on both sides by lakes and are about 350 meters apart. The area is covered with tall beeches and oaks.

In addition to the extensive park and garden area, the Heidensee lake is located in the southern area, on the banks of which there is a mausoleum and the grave sites of the von Stralendorff family . To the northeast is the Kühlensee and to the west a pond was created in the 1990s that serves as a biotope .

Few of the farm buildings to the left and right of the former estate and today's Dorfstrasse were still in a desolate state in 1994. On the southern side of the street, due to its neo-Gothic architectural quotations made of red and yellow bricks, a building with an L-shaped floor plan and with the original reed cover was particularly noticeable. It was a listed building, but was manually canceled in 1995 as part of the job creation measures. The gable of the left, four-axis wing appeared as a large tracery window with ornate circular screens in the spandrels. A belt cornice as a German band divided the middle two axes, which had openings in each arch field on the upper floor and gates in all four fields on the ground floor. The still original cross-frame windows of the five-axis, eaves-facing wing were closed with a stitch arch. Just as richly decorated as the gable of the wing was a risalit in the outer right axis. The three pointed arches in the gable had circular screens and were also divided by a strap and a segmented arch stretched across the entire width. The gate opening was walled up.

After a renovation in 1857, the manor house is a multi-part, plastered structure that rests on a very high basement. A hipped roof covers the main bar and the rear extension, saddle roofs the risalites. The middle of the courtyard or east facade is the four-axis, two-storey block-like original building, which forms a three-axis, three-storey risalit on its right. The staggered gable is crowned with pinnacles and ridge, in the latter there is a bell carried by a small roof turret. A bay window is placed in front of the central axis and the window above is held by a recessed Tudor arch, with the clock in the gusset. The storeys separate cornices in contrasting colors. All storey windows are closed with a stinging arch, those of the drapery have a pointed arch - the arcade frieze has been restored. The entrance with its modern steel construction is also recognizable compared to the cast iron one from 1885. The outside staircase compensates for the different terrain levels. The left side of the courtyard front ends in a hexagonal, three-storey tower with a hood and turret, the windows with tracery - on the right side there is a round tower with a pointed helmet roof. On the left-hand side of the south-east gable, a three-axis, two-storey risalit is extended by two axes. On the ground floor, a terrace closes the niche between the tower and the risalit. Underneath, in the basement, there is a room with narrow arched windows and hexagonal bay windows, externally giving a chapel-like impression. The garden front is also spatially staggered. The left two-storey part of the original building is pulled forward on its right-hand side by extending the rafters, so that the jamb of the ground floor is omitted here. The alcove on the first floor is now the veranda and winter garden. Inside, both the hall with the stucco ribbed vault and keystone, the wooden panels with an ornamental frieze, as well as all the other interior spaces have been reconstructed. The color scheme of the facades continues inside.

Owner and usage

In the year 1219 the property for the foundation of the monastery "Sonnenkamp" (new monastery ) was taken into its possession. After the Reformation there were different owners. The estate was owned by the von Kolhans family from 1783. Ulrich von Stralendorff adopted the name and coat of arms of the von Kolhans on April 26, 1775; due to a Fideikommissminorat for Christian Friedrich v. Kolhans it came to a name and coat of arms association as "v. Stralendorff called v. Kolhans ". The last owner of the property before the land reform expropriation between 1945 and 1949 was Heinrich Richard v. Stralendorff gen. V. Kolhans. He was murdered in Zahrensdorf on June 3, 1945 under unknown circumstances in the presence of his family and is buried in the park of Golchen.

The property has been privately owned since 1998. In the 1990s, dialysis patients were to be treated in the Schlossgut. However, this plan was not implemented later. The building is currently used as a private residence and individual apartments are rented out. Current plans provide for the property to be used as a care facility with a training academy.
