history

In the middle of the 15th century there were fighting around the moated castle of Oberfarnstädt after horse thieves found shelter here and the city of Halle (Saale) dispatched an army to arrest them, which the noblemen of Querfurt opposed an army, as this was an interference in their jurisdiction. Also in 1488, the castle inmates caused unrest when they set fire to several outbuildings in the surrounding area. The manor is a moated castle that was built on behalf of von Geusau in 1615. The manor is now privately owned.
