geography

The property is about 200 m east of Dinker and immediately north of Hellweg , which is called L 670 there , at an altitude of 78  m . On the south side remains of the originally enclosing moat are preserved, which is fed by land ditches and drains into the Ahse, which runs about 600 m to the south .

history

The singer's farm was originally owned by the Counts of the Mark who transferred it as a fief. The first documented owner was Jan von Haver in 1392. About the childless marriage between Katharina von Haver and Heinrich von Schlingworn called Ketteler zu Altengeseke, the house at the Sängerhof went to Katharina's nephew, Othmar von Knipping zu Clötinghof, towards the middle of the 17th century. In 1686 Alhard von Knipping died childless, so that the estate was too much for his brother-in-law Alhard von Droste and he was enfeoffed with it in 1713. Johann Heinrich zu Droste died in 1736. Thereupon the officer Hans Heinrich Eduard von Zastrow was enfeoffed by the king with the house of the Sängerhof. In 1781 Dietrich von Zastrow made the house a Fideikommiss , and on September 20, 1790 he finally bought it for sale. In 1925 the estate was sold to a farmer. In 1990 the heavily dilapidated mansion was extensively renovated and restored.

Mansion

The current mansion was built in 1706 by the von Droste zu Hülshoff family on the barrel vault of the previous building. An extension was built by the von Zastrow family around 1747. It contains the entrance hall, the knight's hall, the library and the probably former large bedroom.

It is a two and a half story half- timbered house with a mansard hipped roof . Inside there are stucco decorations and wooden columns in front of the entrance to the hall.

Building ensemble

On the estate there is also a stable from 1895 and a gardener's house from 1720, which was probably used as a gatehouse before .
