The Himmighausen lock is listed secular building in the Antoniusstraße 4 in Himmighausen , a district of Nieheim in Höxter ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

History and architecture

The formerly encircled complex consists of the manor house and an upstream farm yard . The system was started as a three-wing system for Karl Heinrich von Donop in the first half of the 18th century and extensively rebuilt around 1890. A voluminous mansard hipped roof was added to the single-storey house on a high base. The building is plastered and structured by grooved corner pilasters. A wide terrace with stairs leads to the landscaped garden. On the symmetrical farm yard there are two gate pavilions with a tent roof from the end of the 17th century and two former stable buildings with a gabled central projection and a passage. The one on the left is marked 1720, the one on the right with Donop and shields . The three- arched coach house with a fascinating goal frame and figural keystones was built at the end of the 17th century.

Himmighausen Castle was inherited from the Counts of Oeynhausen to the von Puttkamer family in the 20th century , who use it privately today. Viewing is not possible.
