Manor Bolzum
The manor Bolzum is located in the Bolzum district of the town of Sehnde in Lower Saxony and is a listed building .
description
The courtyard of the manor forms a rectangular, castle-like area, which is surrounded by high limestone walls. They are partly formed by the rear of the farm buildings surrounding the courtyard. There is a long pond in the southwest area. It is the remainder of a moat that surrounded the estate. The enclosing wall in the area of the pond has broken openings like a backdrop.
The two-and-a-half-storey mansion stands on a one-and-a-half-storey stone substructure, which with its solid construction documents the elevated status of the client. The upper floor is designed in half-timbered construction. The entrance to the manor house is a representative portal in the Renaissance style with a two-flight flight of stairs from 1608. The upper floor has projections on the courtyard side , profiled filler wood with fillets , ankle bands and parapet decoration. Due to the way it was built, the manor house can be dated to the first half of the 17th century, making it one of the oldest examples of this representative type of house. Stylistically, it corresponds to the official houses of this time.
history
The first mention of the manor dates back to 1240, when a legal dispute named Dietrich von Boltessen as the owner of the manor. He donated the Bolzum Church. The manor Bolzum was a property of the Lords of Rautenberg , which they had as a fiefdom from the Hildesheim monastery . In 1608 Statius von Münchhausen acquired it , who, as one of the most important builders of the Weser Renaissance, had the manor house built. Due to his financial difficulties, he owned the property only briefly. From 1682 the barons of Frenß and Kendenich owned the estate, which were inherited by the Count of Plettenberg . It was bought back from him in 1767 or 1769 by the Hildesheim Bishop Friedrich Wilhelm as a loaned fief. The estate fell to the Kingdom of Prussia through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 and went to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia in 1806 . After the Congress of Vienna in 1815 it came to the Kingdom of Hanover . The Prussian annexations in 1866 made the property a Prussian state domain , which was leased. In 1895 the estate was sold and changed hands several times. After the Second World War , displaced persons were temporarily quartered in the manor house . Agriculture was practiced on the estate until the early 1970s. In 1972 the estate went into private hands and has been used for residential purposes and as a hotel ever since. An honorary consulate from Kyrgyzstan is located on the former estate .
