history
The castle and the estate are probably of Wendish origin and were mentioned as Malici as early as 948 . In the 12th century it was called Malicin . In the 14th century the place and Gut Mahlitz became "desolate" .
In 1872 Mahlitz belonged to a major Rudolf von Katte . It was a Vorwerk belonging to Wust . After an expansion, the manor became a court of law. Kuno von Katte , the son of Major Rudolf von Katte, took over the business of the castle and the 1,000 hectare estate belonging to it. The manor house was built in 1889 in historicist forms in the style of a hunting lodge. The estate lasted until the end of World War II and was then divided up by the land reform. The former owners had to flee or keep to the prescribed ban miles.
The castle was used for residential purposes by the community of Schollene until 2003. Today it belongs to Tangermünde merchant Thomas Sturm, who restored it. It is currently for sale. The von Katte family is buried in the park .
