Gutshaus Geisendorf, Manor house in Neupetershain, Germany

Gutshaus Geisendorf is a two-storey rectangular manor house of nine by five axes under a hipped roof, built in the Baroque style around the end of the 17th century. Its main facade, reworked in early Neoclassical forms for Friedrich Ehrenreich von Muschwitz at the start of the 19th century, has banded rustication on the ground floor, pilasters above and a central risalit with a meander frieze. A large round arch on the north side and a toilet bay window recall the 17th-century building.

The estate belonged to the von Löben family from 1486 to 1675, then to the von Nostitz and briefly to the von der Marwitz (1727–1739). The manor house was built around the end of the 17th century; in the mid-18th century the von Muschwitz family acquired it, and around 1800 Friedrich Ehrenreich von Muschwitz had it remodelled in early classicist style. Expropriated in the 1945 land reform, it was bought in 1991 by Pascual Jordan, a great-grandson of Hansen Burscher von Saher, who restored it and received the Brandenburg heritage conservation prize in 1993.

The Lower Sorbian name Kněski dwor Gižkojce records the estate's Sorbian past, and the house has served as a Kulturforum since the village was demolished. It hosts exhibitions, a literature forum and other events; in the 1980s it was used for local celebrations such as the Erntedankfest and Zampern.

The building is located at Jahnstraße 7 and can be visited, with exterior photography possible at any time. Planning your visit in advance is recommended to check the current exhibitions and opening hours of the cultural forum.

Pascual Jordan, a great-grandson of the last private owner Hansen Burscher von Saher, bought the derelict manor from the municipality of Neupetershain in 1991 and restored it; in 1993 he received the Brandenburg Prize for Monument Preservation. The Lausitzer Braunkohle AG acquired the building in 1996, and since 2009 it has stood directly at the edge of the recultivated former Welzow-Süd open-cast mine.
