Origin and family

Karl Otto traced its roots back to the Selsau-Orlaa line of the Baltic noble family Transehe-Roseneck . Georg von Bunge wrote in his weekly magazine about the Transehe-Roseneck family:

“The Transehe family comes from the Spanish Netherlands, from where the ancestor of the same Elias Transehe, fleeing from the Inquisition, came to Livonia and settled in the Lemsalscheu areas. From his marriage to one of Blencken, Gerhard Transehe was born, the preacher to Schrunden in Curland and assessor of the Princely Consistory, and most recently senior of the entire Curland Ministry. His second wife Anna Sophia Fidler gave birth to him on September 9, 1589 in Schrunden a son Jochim or Joachim Tranfehe, who was first in Churbrandenburg, then in Braunschweig-Lüneburg service, but in 1627 first confused them with Danish and then in 1631 with Swedish because he was the great Gustav Adolph on May 6th of last year appointed court councilor and resident at the Berlin court ... On October 9th, 1641 he was raised to the Swedish nobility under the name of Roseneck and, as owner of the Kroppenhof estate in Livonia, probably already at that time Livonian matriculation included. "

His father was Otto von Transehe-Roseneck (1721–1791), Lord of Selsau and Erlaa, Russian lieutenant colonel and Wendenscher noble marshal, who was married to Sophie Helene Freiin von Igelström . Carl Otto married Dorothea von Gersdorf in 1800, their descendants were:

Possessions

From 1792 Carl Otto owned Selsau and Kronenhof and from 1806 Neu-Schwanenburg, which was pledged in 1808. From 1806 he was the owner of Roseneck, which was pledged from 1808–1812. From 1821 he owned Rosenhof and Schönangern.

Good Selsau

Selsau mansion

“The former Selsau estate is located between Madona (German: Madohn) and Gulbene (German: Schwanenburg) and was owned by Jacob Weinecken in 1594. The estate was called Weinekenhof. In 1600 it was sold by his son to Wilhelm Friedrich Taube zu Sesswegen (Lat .: Cesvaine). After a few changes of ownership, the estate came into the possession of Otto Reinhold von Igelström in 1724. His son, Baron Reinhold Johann von Igelström, sold the estate in 1765 to his sister's husband, Lieutenant Otto Johann von Transehe. After the purchase, Baron Transehe began to lay out the ensemble of buildings of the Selsau estate in the shape of a circle. Presumably, the property remained in the possession of the Transehes until it was expropriated. The castle was built in 1767 in the baroque style and is considered an architectural masterpiece of the baroque. During the unrest in 1905 it was destroyed by fire, but completely restored in 1908 by Baron A. von Transehe-Roseneck under the direction of the Riga architect Wilhelm von Bockslaff (1858–1945). "

Gut Schwanenburg

“Schwanenburg is located south of the Smiltene (German: Smilten) and Aluksne (German: Marienburg) line in northern Latvia. The place "Gulbana" is mentioned as early as 1224. It was later given the name Schwanenburg. In 1340 a stone castle was built nearby, but it was destroyed in the war against Russia in 1577. The estate was lent to Count Ernst Münnich by Catherine II in 1763, who also built the palace. In 1788, Schwanenburg Castle (also known as the “White Castle”) was inherited by his son Burkhard Christoph von Münnich. In 1789 the property came to Otto Herrmann von Vietinghoff and in 1802 to Johann Gottfried von Wolff. In the 18th century, the grandson Rudolf Gottlieb Magnus von Wolff expanded the castle in the neo-Renaissance style and later expanded it again into one of the most beautiful castles in Livonia by his son Johann Gottlieb Heinrich. In 1905 the south wing of the palace burned down, but was rebuilt. The north wing was destroyed in World War II. The rest of the castle is still preserved. The last owner before the expropriation was Baroness Dagmar Wolff since 1904. The restoration of the castle began in 2005. The manege belonging to the manor complex now houses a hotel. The "Red Castle" is located a little east of the old castle and was built by Johann Heinrich Gottlieb in 1875 after his marriage for his wife Marissa von Oettingen. Today the castle serves as a primary school. The magnificent Gulbene train station is one of the largest in Latvia and was built in 1926 according to plans by the architect Peteris Feders. Gulbene was a hotly contested area during World War II. The station was completely destroyed in 1944, but thanks to the drawings found in the foundations, it could be rebuilt by German prisoners of war. "
