The estate manager's house in Schwandt is part of the historic estate, which was first documented in 1273. While the original manor house was razed to the ground in the 1970s, leaving only a few remnants of the walls, the stables and the smithy remain as part of the estate. The estate belonged to the von Voss family until 1752, before passing to the von Schlieffen family. The last owner of the estate was Lieutenant General Karl Count Schlieffen, whose son, Otto Count von Schlieffen, took over as lord of the manor in 1897.

There is a building on the island and there is an old legend: a white witch is said to live here and cause mischief. Anyone who disturbs her will feel her wrath!
