history

Gut and Schloss Laar

The Laar estate, which is of cultural and historical importance due to the unity of its overall location, originally belonged to the judicial district of the Lords of Malsburg , in whose possession Laar was first mentioned in 1322. They sold the estate in two steps in 1688 and 1691 to the Hessian Landgrave Karl . In the following years the owners changed several times. Since 1902 the estate and castle have been owned by the descendants of Wilhelm von Starck . The farm buildings date from 1565 and 1599. The estate has a small cemetery that houses the graves of various lords and employees. The Laar Castle , to the south adjoins a park with a pond, was built on the western edge of the Gutsgeländes to 1790th

Old Mill

The lavishly restored " Old Mill ", which was built in 1599 as a water mill on the eastern edge of Laar on a 700 m long mill ditch of the Warme, has been generating electricity since its restoration in 1994 and houses a mill museum.
