Carlsburg, Manor house in Winnemark, Germany
Description
Carlsburg is a manor house in the Schwansen district that today is divided into apartments and offices, featuring a central ballroom in Regency style. The building sits within maintained gardens that include a formal avenue with geometric layout.
History
The site was first recorded as Gereby in 1335 and changed owners several times before Karl von Hessen-Kassel acquired it in the late 1700s. This period marked the start of its transformation into a representative manor.
Culture
The building shows how wealthy families in this region reshaped their manor houses over time to match changing tastes. Visitors can read from the architecture which styles different periods favored.
Practical
The grounds lie in the Schwansen district and are crossed by a network of paths and avenues that make it easy to explore the outdoor areas. Since it functions as a private residence, visitors should check in advance which areas are accessible.

After World War II, the building housed students from Louisenlund boarding school from 1951 into the 1970s as student accommodation. It later served as a rehabilitation center for several decades before returning to private use.
