History, description

The place Burkartshain is mentioned in a document as Borchardeshayn in 1284 . A manor is already on record around 1548 , as was the case in 1858 and 1875. In 1838, the owner at the time, Hans Jakob Mettler, renovated and enlarged the manor house in the classical style. At the same time, the farm buildings were significantly enlarged and expanded. The main facade of the manor house had nine window axes, in the middle the large arched entrance portal. The ground floor was made of ashlar plaster up to the window parapet of the first floor . The window sashes in classical sandstone design and the central risalit with three large arched windows crowned a flat triangular ornamental gable with a sandstone vase. The flat hipped roof covered with beaver tails with two horizontal dormers and three chimney heads formed the end of the building. The mansion was flanked on the right and left by two round, slender towers, which were crowned with lantern-like tower domes and towered over the main ridge by 5 meters. The gable ends had four window axes, with only two windows above the first floor and one window in the attic. On the left there was a small passage to the farm buildings. A gatehouse was built next to it with a large passage, both closed off with round arches. In 1912, the new owner Alfred Jacob rebuilt the manor house again. The two flanking corner towers were demolished and a second floor was added. The ridge height was unchanged and the hilted roof made even flatter, the three arched windows in the central projection were made smaller and straightened. The archway of the small passage was closed and attic rooms were created in the roof area. The roof was later rebuilt again and turned into an attic. The farm buildings of the manor were heavily changed, especially after 1945, and some were demolished and new buildings were added. Thus, little remains of the original condition and character of the manor.

owner

Initially, the Bishops of Meissen administered the manor with around 1082 hectares of land. Then there were multiple changes of ownership, with the manor being divided several times. Around 1764 the manor remained undivided. Horse estates and garden estates are also connected with the manor. In 1945 the manor owner was expropriated and expelled without compensation. With the subsequent democratic land reform, the land was divided up and later joined together again by the Agricultural Production Cooperative - Collectivization . In the post-war years, displaced persons , refugees and those returning from the war temporarily moved into the manor house. The mansion was partially divided into apartments. Later it was the seat of the local agricultural production cooperative until the fall of the Wall in 1990. In a small annex adjoined by a small public park with 15 chestnut trees, there was a sales point of the HO branch, coupled with a branch of the Raiffeisen bank, until the fall of the Wall . Then vacancy and fiduciary sale .
