Zichtau Manor

To be privately owned

Gut Zichtau is a manor house in Zichtau, a district of the Hanseatic city of Gardelegen in the north of Saxony-Anhalt.

The estate had been owned by the von Alvensleben family since 1466. Around 1600, Ludolf XIII von Alvensleben (1555–1610) built a residential house and took up residence there. In 1681, a division into the estates "Alte Seite" (Old Side) and "Neue Seite" (New Side) took place. The "Neue Seite" estate was acquired in 1811 by district official Johann Solbrig. The "Alte Seite" estate changed hands in 1812, but was reacquired by the Alvensleben family in 1815 and finally sold in 1847. Around 1820, a large landscape park was laid out at the manor house. This partly included the surrounding Hellberge hills. Two ponds, park paths, and seating areas were created.
