The estate includes several buildings and around 15,000 square meters of land. A long avenue leads directly to the manor house, which is situated in the middle of an extensive landscape.
Manor house with herringbone parquet flooring and fireplace room
The main building offers around 380 square meters of living space and a total of eight rooms. Visitors enter the house via a stone staircase. The entrance area features a classic black and white chequerboard pattern, while other rooms have herringbone parquet flooring.
The property includes a drawing room, a fireplace room, a large kitchen and several historical elements.
The outbuildings also attract attention. The former cowshed has already been converted into guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms. According to the marketing, the former horse stable could be used as a studio or as a "befitting place for a vehicle collection".
Listed ensemble with an eventful history
The ensemble has been a listed building since 1985. The history of the estate goes back a long way.
The estate was used for agricultural purposes until the middle of the 20th century. Later, Franciscan monks lived there. After that, the estate was used as a training venue for the Dortmund Choir Academy, among others.
Real estate consultant Birgit Krell from Engel & Völkers described the marketing to "Bild" as a special task between a "glorious past" and a "promising future".
Historic properties remain in demand
Such historic properties regularly attract attention - especially when they appear surprisingly affordable compared to real estate prices in big cities.
