Northern Italian Villa
Built in 1868–1872 to plans by the Schwerin building officer Georg Daniel, the manor house combines northern Italian villa architecture with Prussian historicism. 99 rooms are spread over 2,278 m².
The Mirror Hall of 1872
Sky-blue stucco, gilded mirrors, crystal chandeliers – the 156 m² ballroom with its 6.80 m ceiling is the heart of the manor house. For more than 150 years it has been the setting for glittering parties, concerts and unforgettable weddings.
Looking Back & Looking Ahead
Looking back · 20 & 21 June 2026

The von Maltzahn Family
From 1496 Gültz was owned by the Freiherren von Maltzahn. Helmuth Freiherr von Maltzahn-Gültz (1840–1923), member of the Reichstag, State Secretary under Bismarck and Oberpräsident (Governor) of the Province of Pomerania, had the present manor house built in 1868–1872. His son Axel ran the estate until 1931; in 1945 the family’s history in Gültz came to an end with expropriation.

XIII, plate 763. The engraving by F. Lüdecke shows the south façade in its original state.

A Manor Needs Many Hands
We are restoring without public funding, using our own resources and a great deal of patience. To make this work in the long term, we are founding a friends’ association. Whether as a founding member, with a piece of historic furniture, with craftsmanship and time, or simply as a guest – every contribution counts.
