Gutshaus Carstenns Schlösschen Lichterfelde, Manor house in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.
Gutshaus Carstenns Schlösschen is a classical manor house with a central section dating to the 1780s-1790s and side wings added during the 19th century. The building features traditional proportions and symmetrical design typical of its period, standing within landscaped grounds.
A structure existed on the site and was destroyed by fire in 1631, leading to the construction of the present manor between 1780 and 1799. The side wings were added during the 1860s as the property expanded in response to changing needs and increasing prosperity.
The manor now serves as a community gathering place offering classes, exhibitions, and events for people of all ages. It has become an important meeting point where neighbors connect and share activities together.
The manor is located at Hindenburgdamm 28 and is accessible by bus lines 283, 285, and M85. Visitors should check ahead for event schedules and opening times, as these can vary depending on activities happening at the venue.
The estate grounds contain one of Berlin's oldest designated nature reserves within the original Bäke Valley landscape. This green area with its distinctive plants and wildlife offers a rare pocket of natural habitat within the city.
