Domäne Wörlitz, Cultural heritage monument in Oranienbaum-Wörlitz, Germany.

The Domäne Wörlitz features a cube-shaped administrative building with a belvedere, surrounded by extensive courtyards and farm structures built of brick and sandstone.

Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff designed the buildings between 1783 and 1787, drawing inspiration from Andrea Palladio's Villa Emo in Italy for the architectural concept.

The complex served as a model farm under Prince Franz, managing several other estates including Münsterberg, Rotehof, and Grünehof near Riesigk with notable agricultural expertise.

The building incorporates sandstone elements, four-flight staircases, and original doors, with free-standing stairs on both the eastern and western sides of the structure.

After two fires in 1848 and 1866, the administrative building expanded on two sides, and from 1952 to 2015, it housed the municipal kindergarten.
