Vitzthum von Eckstedtscher Manor

The Vitzthum von Eckstedt Manor is a listed farmstead in Quedlinburg, Saxony-Anhalt.

The manor, registered as a Freihof in the Quedlinburg monument directory, is located in the Westendorf district of Quedlinburg at Lange Gasse 26 a, at the junction of Gildschaft street and Lange Gasse, and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. To the east, the equally listed house Lange Gasse 26 adjoins it.

The farmstead originated from a medieval noble court. The current buildings date back to 1597 according to an inscription above the portal. It refers to the provost Christoph Vitzthum von Eckstedt (1552–1599) and his wife Maria von Hagen.

The two-story plastered building extends lengthwise along both streets, with its eaves facing the street. While the lower floor was built of quarry stone, the upper floor was constructed using timber framing. Above the Baroque-style portal, there are coat of arms stones in addition to the year. Around 1780, a renovation took place, and at the same time, the western wing of the building was erected. Here too, the lower floor is solid and the upper floor is timber-framed, with the compartments filled with bricks. The gable of the house is clad with slate.
