Gut Gerdshagen, Estate in Satow, Germany

Gut Gerdshagen is a former estate on Landstraße 11 between Kröpelin and Bützow, in the Satow district of Gerdshagen. Its centrepiece is the manor house built in 1555 by Vicke von Oertzen in Renaissance style and later rebuilt in neo-Gothic form. The grounds also hold a horse stable extended with a grain store and a six-hectare park; the manor house now contains four holiday apartments.

First documented in 1224, the estate originated as a forest clearing settlement founded by Westphalian farmers with Bishop Brunward's confirmation to Amelungsborn Monastery. The property evolved over centuries as a manor farm and maintained its core structures through to the present day.

The estate's name comes from the village of Gerdshagen, first recorded in 1224 as a forest-clearing settlement of Westphalian farmers. The former horse stable, extended with a grain store after 1906, can be rented for celebrations, and four holiday apartments occupy the manor house.

The manor house offers overnight stays in individual apartments, with additional lodging options available in Satow three kilometers away. The grounds are generally accessible to visitors, especially during events and celebrations held at the property.

The estate's name recalls the von Oertzen family, who held Gerdshagen for centuries after Duke Heinrich of Mecklenburg pledged it to Sievert von Oertzen in 1459. Vicke von Oertzen, who had previously lived with his brother Jürgen at Gorow, made Gerdshagen his main estate and built the Renaissance manor house in 1555.
