The estate was originally a Meierhof of the Klein-Nordsee estate in Brandsbek (today part of the municipality of Felde ) and was only separated as an independent unit in 1801. Today's manor house and dairy were built around 1802. Under its first owner, OJD Wulff, it was officially accepted into the circle of noble estates in Holstein. The aforementioned Wulff (1801–1816) was followed by Georg vd Steenhof (1816–1822), Schreiber v. Cronstern (1823–1868) and - as the most prominent owner - the Upper President of Schleswig-Holstein, Count Karl von Scheel-Plessen (1868–1892).
