The manor house Lenderscheid is a manor house in Lenderscheid , a district of the municipality of Frielendorf in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district, which dates from the late 18th century and is based on a previous building .

Geographical location

The building is located on the southern edge of the historic town center in the corner of the two streets "Am Schwimmbad" and "Zur Knüllhöhe", immediately south of the baroque village church built between 1735 and 1740 . The state road 3158 from Großropperhausen in the south to Wernswig in the north, called "Zur Knüllhöhe" in the village, runs immediately west of the property.

The construction

The building is the former manor house of the local estate of a branch of the Lords of Baumbach . The two-storey construction of about 20 x 12 meters base consists of a brick and plaster floor on from the Middle Ages derived foundation walls and basement of a previous building and a floor of truss . The northern front facing the courtyard has six axes , with a stone flight of stairs in the middle under the four-windowed dwarf house with the large clock in the attic. The house has a hipped roof of red bricks covered and the dormer has a hipped roof . On the south side there is a 12 m long, right-angled extension with a gable roof in the middle.

The large park to the south with its old trees is no longer part of the property.

history

The Lenderscheid farmyard, which originally belonged to the Spieskappel Premonstratensian Monastery and was first mentioned in a document in 1156, came with the small village that had arisen there as a fief to a branch of the so-called Ludwig branch of the Lords of Gilsa as early as the 14th century .

In 1699 the brothers Philipp Wilhelm and Georg Christoph von Gilsa, heirs of the last male offspring of the Ropperhäuser line, sold the three quarters of the Ropperhausen castle and court, the Hofgut in Lenderscheid and their part of the estate in Siebertshausen to Hans Ludwig (II.) Von Baumbach . On July 21, 1698, he had sold his share of the Baumbachschen estates in and around Nentershausen to Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel and used the proceeds in 1699 for this purchase. In 1701 he was enfeoffed with this property by the landgrave. On March 31, 1719, after he had sold the estate in Dippach he had inherited from his unmarried brother Hermann (1678–1716), Johann Ludwig von Gilsa also bought the rest of the Ropperhausen castle and court district. The extension on the south side of the manor house dates from this time. After his death in 1734, his two sons Carl Ludwig and Wilhelm Ludwig (I) shared their father's inheritance and established the Baumbach lines at Ropperhausen and Lenderscheid. The Lenderscheid estate remained in the possession of the descendants of Wilhelm Ludwig von Baumbach until 1956. Then it was sold together with the courtyard to the “Hessische Heimat” Siedlungsgesellschaft mbH, where it was divided up and resold to private interested parties. The former manor house, renovated in the 1980s, is now a privately owned residence and is not accessible to visitors.
