Patthorst manor
The manor Patthorst or Schloss Patthorst is a mansion on a graves island in Steinhagen in East Westphalia in the Gütersloh district . The estate is surrounded by a park and is privately owned.
history
The Patthorst manor was originally a hunting lodge of the Counts of Ravensberg . At the end of the fourteenth century it became the ancestral home of the von Closter family. The first known resident was Wilhelm von Closter, who received the fiefdom complex in 1463. In 1486 he was marshal to Duke Adolph von Jülich and Berg, Count of Ravensberg.
The von Closter family died out with the death of Caspar Heinrich († 1813) and his brother Franz Wilhelm, who was the royal captain when he stormed the Zahlbacher Schanze in front of Mainz in 1794. Therese von Closter, the daughter of Franz Wilhelm, who had been married to Karl Christian Heinrich von Eberstein since 1803, was the heir to the estate. Since 1830 he was considered the owner of the Patthorst manor.
A site plan from 1822 shows Patthorst Castle as a moated castle with a manor house and farm buildings. In 1845 the castle was rebuilt, during which the farm buildings were relocated from the island of the manor house to the northeast. On the now free area, the vegetable garden was converted into a landscape park.
In 1859 the estate was given the status of an estate district when it was spun off from the Brockhagen community . On October 1, 1928, the manor district was incorporated into Brockhagen.
The area in front of the building was structured by round beds and led to a landscaped garden with winding paths and fountains.
The baron family Eller - Eberstein has lived in the castle since then and has managed it as a forestry and horse farm.
building
The late baroque main house of the estate was built in 1773 by the von Closter family. Components of a medieval castle complex were probably used. At the beginning of the 18th century, the manor house was rebuilt to its present form and a hall was added in 1850. The building has eight axes and is covered with a flat hip roof. The facade is divided into a central risalit , which is crowned by a flat triangular gable. A flight of stairs leads to the driveway and the surrounding park.
To the west of the main house is the mausoleum of the cathedral capitular Carl Heinrich von Closter , built in 1818, and the Grand Cross of Baron Ernst von Eberstein.
