Manor type

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The manor house type is a three-room type that developed in the 19th century as a successor to the north German hall house (e.g. in fishing and Mecklenburg ). Three courtyard buildings form a rectangular courtyard here. The main house at the head end no longer contains any utility rooms. These are housed in the two outbuildings (barns or stables). The characteristics can be very different locally. In some cases there are farms of the (peasant) manor house type, in which the main house is little more than a farmer's cottage or shop and the buildings almost completely enclose the courtyard on three sides. On the other hand, there are courtyards with a palace or mansion-like main building, where the buildings are spaced generously apart, have several thousand square meters of living space and usable space and are supplemented by other external buildings ( bakery , Dutch shop, etc.).
