Gutshaus Gollwitz

Gutshaus Gollwitz is a baroque manor house with symmetrical design, two stories, and large windows located in Brandenburg an der Havel. The building sits within landscaped grounds that include auxiliary structures and now serves as a foundation venue for international youth meetings.

The estate belonged to the von Rochow family until 1946, when Soviet authorities took the property during post-war land reforms in East Germany. After that, it was repurposed for different public functions.

The manor functioned as a school and kindergarten after 1946, showing how East German society changed following the war. This educational use shaped the building's role in community life for many years.

The estate now serves as a venue for international youth programs with accommodation, conference rooms, and educational facilities. Visitors should check ahead as the grounds are mainly used for organized events and group meetings.

A monument protection foundation allows a nonprofit organization to use the property free of charge for meetings between Jewish and non-Jewish youth. This makes the place a special space for cross-cultural understanding and historical learning.
