The Pheasant House is difficult to find. Unfortunately, it is falling into disrepair.

For centuries, the Gülzow estate was owned by important noble families, including the Schacks, Bodecks and Kielmanseggs. In the 17th and 18th centuries, wine was even grown there, which was unusual for the region. Since 1930, the estate has belonged to the Hamburg merchant family Fischer.
