description
The manor house, located in the middle of a small English country park , is surrounded by a moat that was once part of an earlier fortification.

history
Throughout history, the complex has been owned by three families in succession. The von Garssenbüttel family owned the previous building from 1337 to 1625 . From 1627 to 1837 the manor house was owned by the von Bülow family (including Friedrich Ernst von Bülow ), who had the manor house built in its current form. Since 1837 it has belonged to the Lower Saxon imperial noble family von Lüneburg .
