- Built in country style manor Bredowsche:
Today's " elegant country house " was approved in 1870 as a new building in place of the previous house from the District Administrator of Rathenow.
The mansion was built in the tradition of the late classical style as a simple two-story stucco building with a gable roof.
In the period 1900 to 1909 the then owner Ernst von Bredow ( 1865-1909 ) had the house to the street frontage expand in style forms of historicism with neo-baroque elements. The center of the facade was a tower-like stem with a grooved base that stretches over two floors and culminated in an oversized helmet with lantern.
In subsequent years, the mansion was transformed again and indeed in its building structure and its use. Structurally, it changed this time with the opposite sign. Thus, the tower-like stem was removed with its roof structure and was thus approximately to its original form from 1870 back. Its use changed from home to the school house, now it sleeps a deep sleep and waits for its continued use.
