Großwig Manor House

En un regard

Le château en bref

The manor house of Großwig, in the municipality of Dreiheide, on the edge of the Dübener Heide, is the main house of a former noble estate (Freigut, often called a Rittergut). The Baroque building, dated to the 1730s according to the sources (1732 or 1739), was remodelled in the 20th century in forms mixing historicism and Jugendstil, at the time when the estate belonged to the Neubürger family (owner c. 1906–1942). It has two storeys, three on the slope side, with a plain plastered façade, a covered porch carried on two columns and a hipped mansard roof. The estate then passed to Wilhelm Schulz and was expropriated in 1945; the former farm courtyard has lost most of its outbuildings. The renovated manor now houses a kindergarten; the estate grounds are accessible, but the house cannot be visited.
