Borghorst estate
The Borghorst estate is located in the municipality of Osdorf in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in Schleswig-Holstein . The estate is a listed building.
history
The estate is said to have been owned by the Rantzau family in 1450 . A little later, the Ahlefeld family on Noer was named as the owner. In 1489 there is a reference to Benedict von Ahlefeldt as the owner. In 1742 Josia von Qualen inherited the property; before that, family members of the Rumohrs, Thienen and Blome owned the property. It is the year the current mansion was built. Parts of a previous building were used. The estate experienced its heyday with Josias von Qualen, the privy councilor to the Grand Prince. Von Qualen acquired the estate from his father-in-law Wulf Blome when he married his daughter Elisabeth.
Although the mansion was built in 1450 by v. Rantzau's renovation with a defensive moth got a stately appearance, it is ultimately to be attributed to Josias von Qualen that Borghorst achieved the highest reputation. On the one hand through the expansion of the agricultural area to almost 2000 ha. On the other hand through the arrival of the Enlightenment, examples: management and administration of the agricultural enterprise (illustration of the performance process in accounts), the social system (abolition of serfdom) and politics.
From 1740 the young Johann Bernhard Basedow lived on the estate for four years to raise the lord's son. Basedow used this experience to obtain his master's degree.
Until 1803, the Meierhöfe Augustenhof and Hütten, today's Gut Borghorstenhütten, belonged to the estate . In 1963, the system with the farm buildings of the Borghorsthütten estate was largely destroyed in a storm.
The mansion
The mansion was built in 1742. It is a two-story house with thirteen axes and a hipped roof. There are two short side wings on the courtyard side, the roofs are lower than the roof of the main wing. On the two long sides, the three central axes each form a risalit with a triangular gable. The sandstone portal protrudes from the brick. The arched door of the portal is flanked by pillars, which are delicately decorated with flat Régence bandelwerk. Two further pilasters on the sides, placed at a corner, with a volute-shaped rolled-up base and chapter section, extend beyond the door and frame the sweeping crown with the crest cartouche.
The cartouche in the cartilaginous symmetrical Rocailles frame contains the crowned coat of arms. On the left the coat of arms of Josias von Qualen (boar head), on the right that of his wife Elisabeth born. Blome (jumping dog). The keystone of the door is a smiling faun head, masks distorted in the rocaille above and below the cartouche. Crowning vases stand on the corner pilaster.
Inside is the garden room behind a hall. The equipment of the garden hall dates from the construction time of 1742. The equipment includes a stove corner (Meißen) with stucco and a stucco ceiling. The wallpapers on three sides of the garden room were made in Paris in 1825 in the Dufour and Leroy manufactory. It depicts seven scenes from Fénélon's novel Les aventures de Télémaque from 1699. The German Foundation for Monument Protection is proud that the Borghorst manor is one of its sponsored projects, in which paper wallpapers from Dufour & Leroy can still be admired on the spot to let. This is a sensation in itself. But beyond that, the paper wallpapers have survived the times astonishingly well and are almost completely preserved.
These wallpapers show the most popular themes of the Parisian manufactory. In the Borghorst manor house, the wallpaper "Telemach's journey to the island of the goddess Calypso" from 1825 adorns the ballroom to the garden. A green room adjoins the garden hall, which is equipped with gold-decorated panels and elaborate stucco.
Civil weddings are offered in cooperation with the Danish Welfare Office . The garden hall gives the wedding ceremony a festive and cheerful setting at the same time.
The north wing is structured differently. Possibly a moated castle from the Middle Ages was located here. It is unclear whether older parts of the north wing belonged to this moated castle.
Farm yard and park
Only part of the building is left at the farm yard. Only 75 percent of the former grain barn has been preserved. This barn was built in the late 17th century. There are two buildings at the entrance to the courtyard, one of which was a tenant house as early as 1815. It is a half-timbered building while the building opposite is a new one. A building yard still belongs to the farm yard, which is used as a horse stable.
Only a small part of the former baroque park behind the manor house has been preserved. In 1994 it was renovated.
Todays use
Today there is a hotel with function rooms and a dressage stable in the manor house.
