Rittergut Jäckelsbruch, Manor estate in Brandenburg, Germany
Rittergut Jäckelsbruch is a manor estate in Brandenburg comprising a main house, several residential buildings, and numerous agricultural structures distributed across its grounds. The complex contains eight residential buildings and twenty-one farm buildings located near Wriezen in the Märkisch-Oderland district.
Friedrich Wilhelm Jäckel founded the estate in 1755 and had the manor house built until 1780. Over time, the property changed hands among various notable families, shaping the region's development.
The estate embodies the traditional German Rittergut system, showing the historical connection between landowners and agricultural production in the region. Visitors can still observe how the manor house and farm buildings were organized to reflect this feudal structure.
The estate is located near Wriezen in the Märkisch-Oderland district and is visible from outside with its many buildings spread across the grounds. Visitors should note this is private property, so access to view the site depends on the current owners' permission.
From 1940, renowned sculptor Arno Breker used the manor house and park as an art studio, bringing a period of artistic activity to the estate. This unexpected chapter added a creative dimension to the site's history.
