Schloss Schulzendorf is a neo-Renaissance manor house built in 1889 in a Brandenburg village, on the grounds of an older manorial estate. Its history centers on the Israel family, Jewish Berlin merchants who commissioned the building and were later dispossessed of it under Nazi rule. The red-brick and sandstone facade, topped by a tower, appeared as the orphanage in the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit. The estate has stood unoccupied since being returned to the family in 1993.
