A touch of the Orient in Brandenburg. But unfortunately, only a lost place anymore.

The building with the towers is the granary, and the Moorish-style building constructed around 1861 is the manor house. For 30 years, the property changed hands frequently, and the buildings were left to decay; only since 2024 have they been somewhat secured. Current information can be found at https://gut-gentzrode.de/
