Manors in Brandenburg: Knippelsdorf
Siedlung 5a, 04916 Knippelsdorf
Between Schönewalde and Dahme/Mark is the village of Knippelsdorf and the Knippelsdorf settlement, which used to be an outlying estate of the Werchau manor. Today, in the center of the settlement stands a rather young manor house, which was built around 1910 by estate owner Max Kiesel. It is a villa-like residential building with decorative half-timbering and a centrally placed belvedere tower, inside which a wooden staircase leads to the tower room.
The asymmetrical ground plan is remarkable. The east wing is two-story, the west wing one-story with an additional mezzanine floor and ox eyes.
Due to the various additions and different floor heights, the building is dominated by steep roofs next to the tower; together with the half-timbered facade, the influence of the English country house style is evident. On the courtyard side there is a small roofed porch, on the garden side a veranda with a flight of steps into the garden.
After 1945, the interior of the manor house was rebuilt, the premises were smoothly plastered and reduced in size: until the early 1990s, it housed simple apartments for several families. Since that time it is abandoned and in need of renovation.
