The Entenfang Hunting Lodge , located on the south-eastern outskirts of Berzdorf in the north of the city of Wesseling and on the Entenfang nature reserve , is now used as a day-care center after several conversions and renovations .
history
The building served until the secularization the provosts of the Cologne church Saint Gereon who were well off in Berzdorf, as a hunting base for duck hunting using decoys . Whether the building, or a new or reconstruction, or at least the property can be ascribed to the Elector Clemens August von Bayern is very doubtful by the more recent historiography . In any case, it already existed before 1735. The building originally included farm buildings and an estate, each at right angles to a courtyard.
As early as 1797 the building threatened to deteriorate. The first tenant of the estate was then a family Breuer from Berzdorf in 1797, who made the house habitable again. The restored two-story building had five window axes and a hipped roof. Around 1900 the house, which had meanwhile been privatized, was converted into a manor house, expanded to the east and provided on the east side with baroque -looking turrets and bay windows as well as an outside staircase in front. Furthermore, a terrace building with an external staircase was put in front of one corner of the rear front. Today the old oak beams on the upper floor and the staircase with false ballusters are still striking.
