historical overview
Rundhof (Danish: Runtoft) was mentioned for the first time in 1231 in King Waldemars II's earth book . The origin of the estate was a fortified moated castle in royal possession, which was handed over as a fief to various Jutian military leaders in the course of the 13th century . From about 1400, the property was under Erich Krummediek in a large manorial converted. After the conquest of Flensburg in 1431 by Duke Adolf VIII of Holstein in the Danish-Hanseatic War (1426–1435) , Rundhof Castle was demolished by the victors and the estate fell into ducal possession.
It was sold to the von der Wisch family in 1460 and then to the Sehestedt family around 1500 . In 1557 Henneke Rumohr, a member of the ancient aristocratic family Rumohr , was awarded the estate as Eybe Sehestedt's husband after an inheritance dispute. His descendants formed a noble estate from the manor and are now in the 16th generation of the Rundhof. Under the Rumohr, the manor was completely redesigned in the 18th century and a new mansion was built.
Gut Rundhof has been managed to this day and is usually not accessible to visitors. The mansion can be viewed from the outside limited by public roads, but concerts are occasionally held in the domed hall of the vestibule. The former manager's house of the estate is rented out to holiday guests.

The mansion
The manor house , also often referred to as a castle , was built between 1753 and 1755. The original plans came from the architect Johann Gottfried Rosenberg , the execution was carried out by Georg Greggenhofer from Bavaria , who later rose to become the Eutin court architect and thus one of the most important architects in Schleswig-Holstein at the time. Rundhof was his first extensive work in the duchies.
The manor house is one of the largest baroque buildings of its time in the Duchy of Schleswig . The cuboid, eleven-axis building is so deep that the building is spanned by two parallel roofs, which ties in with the regional building tradition of the semi-detached house . The building consists of a low basement and two full floors and is made entirely of brick. Yard sided skips a polygonal Risalit forth provided by vases decorated attic is crowned, the garden facade is simple with only a flat projecting projections. The late Baroque building was rebuilt and expanded in the classicism style from 1785 to 1790 . The center of the mansion is formed in the typical baroque style by the vestibule on the courtyard side and its counterpart, the garden room to the west. On both sides of the building, two salons adjoin the festive rooms on the left and right, the transverse axis of the manor house is formed by large corridors that connect the living rooms with one another. The decorative equipment of the rooms was created by the Italian plasterer Francesco Antonio Tadey .
Surroundings
The mansion stands on a courtyard island formed by pond-like moats. It is flanked to the east by two cavalier buildings, so that a three-wing complex is formed around a courtyard . Like the manor house, the buildings date from the 18th century. In the direction of the driveway there were large farm buildings that were still based on the designs of Johann Rosenberg, but were destroyed in a large fire in 1968. The former baroque garden was transformed into a landscape garden in the 19th century. It is located on private property and is not open to the public.
