Gutshaus Satzkorn, Manor house in Satzkorn, Germany.
Gutshaus Satzkorn is an eleven-axis brick manor house on Dorfstraße, built in baroque forms after 1739 and covered by a mansard hipped roof. Its east facade carries a richly ornamented attic; the estate also comprises two farm buildings, two stables and a manager's house. The house was extensively restored in 2023 and 2024.
Johann Conrad Friedrich Brandhorst, personal physician to King Friedrich Wilhelm I, bought the Satzkorn Rittersitz from Cuno von Hünicke by contract on 30 September 1739, paying 22,000 thalers for it and a further 1,600 for the Bauerngut. He had the medieval manor house largely demolished and replaced with a new baroque building, but died in Potsdam on 1 May 1740 before it was finished. His son Friedrich Leopold Brandhorst inherited the estate.
The manor house sits within orchards, fields, and meadows that form part of Potsdam's historical landscape. Visitors can see how the building connects to its natural surroundings during cycling and walking routes through the region.
The manor house stands at the edge of Satzkorn on Dorfstraße, surrounded by fields and next to an active orchard. It was placed under monument protection in April 2002 and extensively renovated in 2023 and 2024. The site is privately owned and not open as a museum, so the buildings are best viewed from the public road.
Johann Conrad Friedrich Brandhorst, personal physician to King Friedrich Wilhelm I, bought the estate on 30 September 1739 for 22,000 thalers, a sum he found too high, plus 1,600 thalers for the separate farm estate. He died on 1 May 1740 in Potsdam before his new baroque manor house was finished.
