Manor House Duckwitz
Duckwitz is located directly next to Lake Duckwitz. In 1696, Wolfgang von Moltke passed over ownership to Ludolf von Bassewitz.
Later, the property went to civil ownership. For instance, it was owned by Carl Döhn in 1848, Leopold Troll starting in 1891, Paul Troll in 1908, and Werner Eckstein in 1913.
The manor house is a two-storey plastered building with a hipped roof that was built in 1915. It has an open staircase that leads you into the building. The entrance has a half-timbered balcony standing on four columns. It has a winter garden with an upper exit. One can get to the park and the lake via a back porch and an open staircase. The building, which was refurbished in 1997 according to an ecofriendly concept with fully biological constructed wet-park, photovoltaic system, woodchip heating system, and wind turbine, is now a private property and serves as a residential house and office.
Next to the manor house is the original stable, in which cozy holiday apartments have been set up. The horse stables on the ground floor have also been preserved.
