Gut Posteholz

Gut Posteholz is an estate near Aerzen in Lower Saxony featuring stone walls, traditional buildings, and gardens in the Hameln-Pyrmont district. The property includes several historic structures that demonstrate the typical layout of a rural manor complex from this region.

The estate was founded in the 16th century by the von Post family and received its main house in 1766 through Jobst Gabriel von Wülfingen. This 18th-century construction shaped the property's appearance as it stands today.

The estate shows how rural nobility lived and organized their land in Lower Saxony. From the exterior, visitors can observe the architectural style that shaped the relationship between these families and their properties.

The estate is privately owned, so visitors should view it from designated public areas while maintaining a respectful distance. The exterior structures and grounds are visible from these vantage points outside the main property.

The property features a stone plate fence built in 1678 as part of a regional order to conserve timber resources. This unusual fence shows how resource management influenced the design of estates in this area centuries ago.
