The village of Mötzow has a rich history dating back to 1161 when it was established as a Slavic settlement. By 1204, it was under the ownership of the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter. Over the centuries, the estate was managed by various tenants, including August von Schönborn and Friedrich Sander, who constructed the manor house. After World War II, the estate avoided expropriation and remained under church management until it was leased in 2001. Today, Gutshaus Mötzow operates as part of Vielfruchthof Domstiftsgut Mötzow, combining agricultural production with cultural tourism.
