Laagshof, Heritage estate in Königswinter, Germany

The Laagshof estate comprises a two-story manor house, stables, and a barn constructed with Perlenhardt trachyte stone and brick masonry materials.

Wilhelm Girardet, a newspaper publisher from Essen, acquired the estate in 1905 and commissioned architect Wilhelm Freiherr von Tettau for its transformation.

The estate's architecture incorporates elements of Heimatschutz style, reflecting regional building traditions and English country house influences in its three-wing layout.

Located one kilometer southeast of Ittenbach at 220 meters above sea level, the estate stands near the Cologne-Rhine/Main high-speed railway line.

During World War II, from July 1941, the estate served as a prisoner of war camp for French and Russian detainees.

Location: Königswinter
