In April 1945 the US Army occupied the place. The castle was also occupied and Karl-Dedo von Krosigk and his sister Elisabeth were evacuated. After the Americans were replaced by the Soviet occupying power in early July 1945 , the Krosigks were expropriated without compensation.

The moated castle dates from the 18th century and was expanded after 1829. The manor covered 438 hectares and consists of very large and solid farm buildings. At the time of the GDR it housed a large sheep farm. In 2010 the buildings were largely empty. The castle has been restored and is privately owned with the park.
