Rittergut Besenhausen, Manor estate in Friedland, Germany
The estate includes a manor house from 1690, surrounded by a courtyard, baroque gardens, and agricultural buildings along the Leine River banks.
First mentioned in 1307, the property belonged to the von Hanstein family who constructed defensive walls and ditches around the Renaissance building in 1540.
The converted sheep barn now functions as an event venue, hosting art exhibitions and concerts during the Besenhausen Summer Festival.
The property maintains a cafe serving fresh cakes and coffee specialties, with outdoor seating available in the garden setting.
The estate houses the 1949 Customs House, which processed over two million people crossing the inner-German border between 1945 and 1956.
