Gutshaus Mötzow, listed building in Beetzseeheide, Brandenburg, Germany

Gutshaus Mötzow is a large manor house built in 1894 from red brick with plaster accents, featuring multiple turrets, varied window styles, and balconies on both front and rear facades. The property includes stables, a storage barn, a forge, and worker housing arranged around a central courtyard.

Mötzow was a Slavic settlement on the Beetzsee, transferred by Bishop Wilmar of Brandenburg to the new cathedral chapter in 1161; a document to Margrave Otto II confirmed the chapter's ownership in 1204. From 1717 the cathedral chapter leased the estate, first to August von Schönborn until 1729. Friedrich Sander took the lease in 1859 and had the historicist manor house built in 1894. In 1947–48 land reform spared the Domstiftsgut, which stayed church property but had to be farmed by the chapter itself and could no longer be leased.

The estate's name recalls the Slavic settlement of Mötzow, recorded in 1161 when Bishop Wilmar of Brandenburg transferred it to the newly founded cathedral chapter. The cathedral chapter leased the farm from 1717, with August von Schönborn as first tenant until 1729. From spring to autumn, weekend and holiday markets and folk festivals are held on the grounds.

The estate lies in the Mötzow district of Beetzseeheide, southwest of the town of Brandenburg. The manor house stands on the four-sided farmyard, reached by a wide arched carriage drive with brick parapets; the surrounding buildings of the ensemble are seen from the yard. From spring to autumn, markets, folk festivals and entertainment programmes are held on weekends and public holidays.

The estate's four-sided courtyard also holds a Schnitterkaserne, a barracks for seasonal harvest workers, alongside a distillery, a smithy and two Insthäuser. The manor house itself has a wide arched carriage drive with brick parapets, and its rear upper windows keep green shutters. The N'Ostalgiemuseum was housed on the grounds until it moved to Leipzig in 2016.
