The manor was first mentioned in 1398. It was associated with the von Dehns for a long time later on. The wooden main building, dating from the 18th to 19th century, was destroyed in a fire in 1972. A corner tower reminding one of a medieval fortress tower, the so-called Pigeon tower, has been preserved.
