history

The Easter Kinloch estate , now Marlee , has been occupied since 1499. The nucleus of Marlee House was built around 1500. Fragments of this building were integrated into the current main wing of Marlee House. This probably originated in the 17th century. Between 1754 and 1760, Marlee House was significantly expanded by adding four wings. The entrance area was also revised during this period. In the following centuries the mansion was redesigned again. The architect A. J. Meacher was entrusted with the renovation of the interior in 1890 .
