Gut Holzhausen (Nieheim)
The Good Holzhausen is located in Nieheim - Holzhausen in Höxter , North Rhine-Westphalia .
It has been documented since 1483 that the von der Borch family lived on the estate . The family probably acquired the fief as early as 1464. They received the property as a fief from Prince-Bishop Simon III. zur Lippe , then sovereign of the Principality of Paderborn. The current manor complex was built in the 16th century. The oldest buildings are from this time. The courtyard is well preserved. The ensemble is a listed building . Agriculture and forestry are still practiced on the estate. Public events such as shooting festivals, Christmas markets, classic car meetings, school theater festival days and other cultural events take place on the estate.
In 1999, the manor Holzhausen and its immediate surroundings served as one of the locations for the film Die Einsamkeit der Krokodile by Jobst Oetzmann .
History and architecture
The origin of the complex is the Holthusen moated castle , built in 1312 and owned by the von der Borch family since 1484. The extensive complex consists of a manor house and the former outer bailey with a large farm yard. In the former double square moat there is the manor house with a three-axis columned balcony and a hipped roof with a vase-covered attic . The roof is equipped with ocular hoods and chimneys.
The house was built from plastered quarry stone from 1801 to 1809 by Wilhelm Carl Hisner. The forecourt is walled. The facades, which are structured with smooth cornices , cornices with a tooth cut and cranked corner pilasters, were decorated even more richly in 1910 by a Tuscan columned balcony instead of the original balcony and the spheres on the chimneys.
The interior division was made according to French models. The apartments and corridors are arranged symmetrically. The original interior was antique.
Between the inner and the remains of the outer moat is a wall back, the southeast leads down terraces to the ground floor of the early 20th century with a pond model. From the northwest an avenue of linden and old oak leads to the complex. The farm yard is divided by the so-called Rentei, a remnant of the former outer bailey. The building is an eaves-standing, plastered quarry stone box with corner blocks. The windows are in two parts; of the three courtyard-side doors, the middle one is marked 1752.
In the vicinity of the manor house there are four gable barns made of quarry stone, some of which are plastered. The gables of the three large barns are decorated with tooth cut. The partition was renewed in the 17th, 18th and partially in the 20th century. The arrangement of the openings has been changed. On the west side between the stables there is a pigeon tower marked 1715 with a conical roof. The former horse stable from the second half of the 19th century stands between the courtyard and the garden.
The administrator's house from the first half of the 19th century is located in the younger, upstream section of the courtyard. On the road to Oberdorf there is a large sheep and bull barn named 1813, it was built from rubble stone.
