Uebigau Manor, located in the Elbe-Elster district of Brandenburg, Germany, is a château with a rich history. Situated in the historic center of Uebigau, it is the youngest manor in the district. The manor was constructed in the Neo-Baroque style with elements of Art Nouveau. Behind the building lies a two-hectare park from the 19th century. The manor's history dates back to 1864 when Berlin construction entrepreneur Johannes August Schmidt acquired the estate and built a manor house. Over the years, the property changed hands multiple times, with notable owners including Moritz Rutschmann and Georg von Bismarck. In 1904, Major Ernst Bock von Wülfingen transformed the manor, adding a mansard roof and a roof tower, giving it its current appearance. A greenhouse was built in the park in 1904, followed by a gardener's house in 1909/1910. After World War II, the manor was repurposed as a youth hostel in 1951 and has been used as a municipal hostel since 1990. Renovations took place in 1996/97 and 2000, with further redesigns of the courtyard and parterre in 2010/2011. Uebigau Manor is recognized as an architectural heritage monument, reflecting its historical and cultural significance.
