Rittergut Benkendorf stands in Teutschenthal (Saalekreis), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Rittergut Benkendorf, also known as Schloss Benkendorf, stands in the village of Benkendorf, part of the municipality of Teutschenthal in the Saalekreis district, Saxony-Anhalt. The oldest surviving section of the manor house dates to 1769, with a northward extension added in Neo-Renaissance style during the late nineteenth century, giving the building its present rectangular form under a mansard roof. A Rococo portal with a decorative fanlight still marks the original entrance. The surrounding farm buildings from both construction phases enclose a large courtyard, and a landscaped park extends to a pond on the northeastern side.

What to know

The main building stands largely empty today, apart from a few rooms once used by a retirement home.
No visiting hours or admission fees are known, as the estate functions as private property rather than an organised tourist site.
The complex, with its courtyard and landscaped park, is best appreciated from the outside.
The building served as a filming location for an episode of the German television series Zorn.
