Gut Holdheim, Protected mansion in Oberneuland, Germany.
Gut Holdheim at Apfelallee 30 is a neoclassical manor with stone columns across its front facade and surrounding landscaped grounds. The building has been subdivided into residential apartments while preserving its protected heritage status.
In 1809, Senator Johann Friedrich Abegg purchased the land and had a wooden structure replaced with a new neoclassical manor. Architect Hinrich Kaars designed this significant building for the Abegg family.
The estate shaped Oberneuland's identity as an upscale residential area where prominent families established their homes. It remains a visible example of 19th century bourgeois architecture in the neighborhood.
The property is now private residential space and can be viewed from the street, though public access to the interior is not available. Visitors can appreciate the exterior architecture and surrounding grounds from outside the gates.
A fieldstone grotto on the grounds was built in 1874 by physician Gustav Woldemar Focke, who also introduced rare plants to the park. This botanical collection made the property a site of scientific interest in the area.
