Dahlwitz manor

Dahlwitz manor is a late classical estate with a red brick facade and a belvedere tower, built at one and a half stories and featuring Italian architectural elements throughout. The original structure used stones from an earlier baroque castle and is today surrounded by a landscape park designed according to early park ideals.

Landowner Carl Heinrich von Treskow-Friedrichsfelde commissioned architect Friedrich Hitzig to build the estate between 1855 and 1856, incorporating materials from a destroyed baroque castle. The manor later served as a kindergarten and school building before undergoing major restoration starting in 2004.

The manor takes its name from the family that shaped the estate, and its architecture reflects Italian influences that defined the lifestyle of its landowners. Visitors can see these European design elements in the building's details and the surrounding grounds today.

The grounds are surrounded by a designed landscape park that gives visitors plenty of space to explore and clarifies the building's historical context. The manor is maintained in partnership with a foundation, and visitors should note that access may be limited at certain times.

The original owner Carl Heinrich von Treskow-Friedrichsfelde founded the nearby Hoppegarten racecourse and thereby shaped regional development profoundly. The direct connection between the manor and the racing grounds still shows today the economic interests of 19th-century landowners.
