history

Gut Laagshof, house and coach house (around 1908)

The Laagshof dates back at least to the beginning of the 19th century. In the censuses of that time as well as in the topographical survey of the Rhineland , it was recorded as Laachshof , in 1816 it had seven and in 1843 six inhabitants using today's spelling. A new building was built around 1860, so that in 1885 the Laagshof residential area already had two residential buildings with eight residents.

On August 24, 1905, Wilhelm Girardet , a newspaper publisher from Essen, acquired the estate including 380 acres of arable land, meadows and forest from Count Franz von Nesselrode . He let him in eight months of construction and 1906 by the architect and government architect Wilhelm Freiherr von Tettau in home style based on English country houses to rebuild and expand to a horseshoe-shaped, three-blade system. The so-called "Inspector's House" was built as an extension and the completely new wing was the house for Girardet, who mainly wanted to hold autumn meetings there in his own hunting grounds . The original, later modified design by Tettaus was commented on in the magazine Der Baumeister .

During the Second World War , the Laagshof served as a prisoner-of-war camp from July 1941 , initially occupied by ten French prisoners and later also by Russians. After the Second World War, the Laagshof fell into the possession of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia . In 1971 it was reopened as an equestrian center after the construction of a riding hall , and a restaurant was also added. In 2005, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia sold the property , whereupon the equestrian sport was temporarily suspended, but was resumed in summer 2006 after a renovation.

The Laagshof was entered in the monuments list of the city of Königswinter on July 11, 2003.

investment

The Laagshof includes a two-storey mansion , a one to three-storey servants ' and administrators' house ("inspector's house"), stables, coach houses and a barn . While the residential buildings are made of trachyte blocks (roughly broken Perlenhardter trachyte ), the stables are brick buildings .

Erected as a complete new wing of the 1905/06 Laagshofs is built on two levels in trachyte and the origin is divided by into a residence, open carriage and equipment sheds and a space for fuel. The upper end of this building is formed by a slate- hipped roof that accommodates a converted attic . The entrance to the house is set back between three - sided bay - like porches, which have arched windows on the ground floor . On the upper floor, originally exposed to stone and now plastered , there is a loggia delimited by the oriels . The central interior of the house is a hall with an attached staircase, which is connected to the kitchen and master bedroom at the front and the dining room and open hall at the back . The ground floor has a wooden beam ceiling .

The former “inspector's house” consists of a tower-like, slurry brick building that was already in place before the expansion in 1905/06 and the extension in Trachyt at the time. The old building is three-storey and originally had a tail gable that was added during the expansion, as well as a stair tower (both trimmed today) adjoining the joint to the extension . The lower extension has a high, sloped roof into which the row of windows on the upper floor, interrupted by two bay windows , is recessed. At the right end of the ground floor there is a large round arch as an arcade-like transition to the workshops behind. The ground floor accommodated a chicken and pigsty, the upper floor apartments for the staff.
