The manor house Sickte is a manor house in Sickte in Lower Saxony .

history

In 1706 the privy councilor Urban Dietrich von Lüdecke acquired the Lower Sick estate. From 1712 - according to other information, 1710 or around 1710 - the Lower Sick manor was built according to plans by the master builder Hermann Korb , which is now known as the Sickte manor. In 1844 the new owner Wilhelm von Veltheim carried out numerous renovations on the ground floor.

In 1964 the mansion was closed due to dilapidation. Until 1977 it belonged to the Federal Property Office , in that year the then municipality of Niederseckt acquired the building with a plot of land of 18,000 square meters. Repair work began in 1982; In 1983 an appraisal certified that the house could be "repaired". That same year, a company belonging to the estate, but still the was the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry imputed listed barn demolished. The manor house was finally repaired from 1993 to 1995; In 1995 it became the administrative seat and cultural center of the Sickte municipality . In 2017 the municipality of Sickte decided to sell the house. However, the necessary move of the joint administration into a new building in Sickte failed.

Architecture and equipment

The baroque mansion was inspired by Palladianism and Dutch architecture, for example by Jacob van Campen . It is very similar to the former Bevernsches Palais in Braunschweig , which was also designed by Korb and demolished in 1879.

The two-story house is characterized by three-axis central projections with triangular gables on both long sides . Part of the ground floor was made of solid construction; otherwise the house is designed as a half-timbered building . The facades are structured by cornices . The half-timbered structure was covered with mud and painted with English red.

Deviating from the principles of Palladianism, the longitudinal fronts differ in the number of window openings. While the garden side has eleven of them, there are 13 on the courtyard side. The roof is a hipped roof . The ridge line between the two tips of the triangular gable is slightly higher than the ridge running in the longitudinal direction.

The risalit of the south front is designed as a loggia with three arches .

The staircase, which is offset to the side, has two tracks. The almost square ballroom is located on the garden side on the first floor. It is characterized by Corinthian pilasters and has a richly decorated stucco fireplace in the western central axis . From the ballroom one reaches the former living rooms, which were not laid out symmetrically, but in the sense of commodité ("convenience") according to their purposes. They are connected by enfilades which, however, do not continue in the window axes.

Use and environment

The manor house is used as the administrative and cultural center of the Sickte municipality.

There is a park-like garden between the south side and the surrounding wall. The farmyard of the estate was originally located on the north side. Today the area is open to the public, including a playground.

The "Senior and Therapy Center Am Herrenhaus Sickte" has been located near the manor house, on part of the former estate, since 1996.

Others

The civil servant and politician Wilhelm Erdmann Florian von Thielau was born in 1800 in what was then the manor house.
