Gut Eckendorf

Gut Eckendorf features architectural elements that span multiple periods, including a main house and surrounding park with numerous old trees and a pond.

The estate dates back to 1036 and underwent substantial modifications in 1776 when the baroque garden was established, followed by its transformation into an English landscape park.

The von Dallwitz family maintains the estate's traditions through preservation efforts and occasional public events that connect visitors with regional heritage.

Visitors can explore the grounds where a monumental oak tree stands 27 meters tall with a crown diameter of 20 meters on the east side of the pond.

The estate's centerpiece oak tree, approximately 400 years old, bears distinctive scars from a lightning strike in 1911, marking its survival through centuries.
