history
Using dendrochronological studies on the roof structure , experts were able to prove that the wood was felled at the end of the Thirty Years War in 1641. The building was therefore erected in the middle to the end of the 17th century. At that time the property belonged to the last widow of the von Langen family , who sold it to Sigismund von Muschwitz in 1686. In the following decades, the owners changed frequently, which leads to the assumption that the estate yielded little income. In 1696 the sergeant from Wolfersdorf bought it , who passed it on to Privy Councilor Georg von Schleinitz . From him the estate came into the possession of Friedrich W. von Corneck and Heinrichs Wilhelm von Goertz in 1707 . In 1716 they sold it to Caspar E. von Plathen, the chamber judge. Under his leadership, craftsmen expanded the building in 1723 by adding two lower economic wings, as the bricks with this date prove. In 1728 Friedrich Wilhelm I bought the place and converted it into a lease office . In 1811 the Prussian state sold the property to the bailiff Teltow, who in turn handed it over to the bailiff Schubke. From there it came into the possession of the judiciary Friedrich W. Steinhausen in 1834. The interiors were redesigned under his direction. In the first half of the 19th century, gardeners also laid out a park surrounding the building. In the second half of the 19th century, the property came back into Prussian state ownership and was advertised as a lease. After the expropriation of the Hohenzollerns and the end of the First World War , it became a state domain. In the 1930s, it was managed by Oberamtmann Stocksmeyer. After the end of the Second World War , the Red Army initially took over the building. At the time of the GDR it was used for various municipal purposes, such as a kindergarten, school, post office, office of the LPG and as a youth club. After the fall of the Wall , the building was initially empty. Since the community lacked the means to support it, it fell into disrepair. In 2002 she therefore sold it, including the castle park, to a private investor.
Building description
The structure was essentially built from bricks , which were then plastered . The result was a two-storey structure with fourteen to two axes and a central entrance. The rooms were arranged so that the doors were in line with one another. In the first third of the 19th century, it was redesigned in the style of the Empire . The chimneys, doors, wall cupboards and the staircase that were converted in this way are still preserved in the 21st century. On the right, western gable is a late Gothic chapel with a two- bay ribbed vault. Allegorical wallpapers, which were made in Paris around 1815, were in a salon . Cupid and Psyche were depicted on them . The building has a simple, steep gable roof .
