Gut Groß Behnitz, Manor estate in Groß Behnitz, Germany

Gut Groß Behnitz is an estate near Groß Behnitzer See featuring a main house, administrative buildings, and farm structures within a 30-hectare landscape park. The property encompasses multiple building complexes arranged around extensive grounds with water features and wooded areas.

Peter von Itzenplitz built the main house around 1800, after which industrialist Albert Borsig transformed it into a model agricultural operation in 1866. This made it a notable economic enterprise of its era, implementing innovative farming practices.

The gatehouse on Behnitzer Dorfstraße, built 1871–72, is topped by two sandstone trophies that Albert Borsig salvaged in 1867 when Berlin's Oranienburger Tor was demolished and had brought here. The estate later passed to his son Ernst von Borsig, whose house hosted meetings of the Kreisau Circle resistance group in October 1941.

The estate now operates as a conference center and organic hotel in restored historic buildings. Visitors can stay in the preserved structures and enjoy dining services in period settings.

The sandstone trophies on the gate at Behnitzer Dorfstraße came from Berlin's Oranienburger Tor. Albert Borsig rescued them when the gate was demolished in 1867 and had them brought to Groß Behnitz; the gate itself was built in 1871–1872.
