The town hall was inaugurated in 1897. It is considered "unfinished" because it could not be built as planned with two wings, with an entrance and tower in the center. The owner of the house to the right of the town hall did not want to sell his house at the time.

The Bergen Commandery is a manor in the village of Bergen, which belongs to the town of Wanzleben-Börde. History The manor in the village of Bergen, which already existed, came into the possession of the Teutonic Order in 1272, or according to other sources in 1285, who established a commandery here. From 1570, Hans von Lossow lived here as a commander. During the Thirty Years' War, the manor was temporarily Swedish, but then came back into the possession of the Order. The Order remained the owner until 1806. After changing owners, the manor belonged to the sugar manufacturer Rabbethge from around 1900. The manor is still privately owned today. Architecture The large manor is surrounded by a wall. Access from the village is through a portal that was probably built in the 18th century. The oldest part of the manor complex that has been preserved is the late Romanesque/early Gothic Bergen manor chapel. Immediately to the east of the chapel is a two-storey building with a basement. The upper floor is half-timbered. The house was built by Hans von Lochow as the Commander's residence. The tower on the east side of the house is striking. This was originally a bay window that was raised by two half-timbered floors and crowned with a small lantern. An inscription refers to the year 1586. To the west of the chapel is a two-storey, two-winged house from the 18th century in the Baroque style. Above a door in the south wing is a plaque dated 1579. It shows the coat of arms of Hans von Lossow held by angels. The plaque probably comes from a previous building. The very spacious courtyard was originally made up of various farm buildings. The buildings, which essentially date from around 1600, such as barns and stables on the south side, were rebuilt several times and finally demolished in the last decades of the 20th century. On the north side, farm buildings from the 19th century were preserved. This area is dominated by the mighty dovecote built in 1843. wikipedia.org
