Where Timeless Architecture Meets Northern Elegance
Just 30 minutes by car from Hamburg and Lübeck, nestled in the serene countryside of Schleswig-Holstein, this historic manor offers the rare combination of refined living, heritage protection and natural beauty. Positioned along the A24 corridor between Hamburg and Berlin, the location allows for easy access while preserving a sense of privacy and seclusion.
The estate spans approximately 4 hectares (10 acres) and includes a protected landscape garden inspired by the Lenné school of garden design. A striking mix of open lawns, mature trees and meandering paths creates a park-like setting that is both tranquil and alive with potential.
An Estate of Character and Possibility
This stately manor, protected as a listed building, has been carefully renovated over recent years. A modern log wood heating system was installed in 2018, and the residence is equipped with updated electrical systems, modern windows and fiber optic internet. Living spaces have been maintained and improved with great respect for the historical features: high ceilings, elegant wooden floors, ornamental plasterwork and classic architectural details are preserved throughout.
Spanning roughly 5,400 square feet, the property currently accommodates two self-contained apartments, each with their own kitchen and bath - perfect for multi-generational living, guests or creative live/work concepts.

The Grounds – A Private Sanctuary with Heritage Status
The landscape garden, protected under historic preservation law, was designed as a final thesis project in the tradition of 19th-century landscape designer Peter Joseph Lenné. Today, the grounds offer wide lawns, winding moss-lined paths, old-growth oak and beech trees and a sense of complete seclusion. The site includes a natural pond formed from the former moat of a medieval water castle and a designated swimming pond.
A beautifully reconstructed timber-framed barn from 1824, built with clay and traditional methods, currently serves as a sheep stable and holds significant potential for alternative use.
Additional land adjacent to the courtyard may allow for rebuilding a former outbuilding, subject to approval.
Versatility Meets Authenticity
Whether as a private estate, creative retreat, institutional residence or boutique event venue, this manor offers more than a place to live - it offers narrative, identity and opportunity. The atmosphere is cultivated yet grounded in nature, and the estate has already served as a discreet setting for cultural events and exclusive gatherings.
