Haus Heerfeld, Manor house in Wadersloh, Germany.
Haus Heerfeld is a manor house with associated land in Wadersloh, North Rhine-Westphalia, comprising residential buildings, service structures, and grounds. The architecture displays handcrafted details from different construction periods and occupies agricultural land that has belonged to the property for centuries.
The first written record comes from 1194, when a charter documented two brothers as inhabitants of the place. The estate remained an independent noble seat with local privileges for centuries until ownership changed hands in the 20th century.
The property has remained in the same family's care for generations and visitors can observe how it served as a seat of local influence. The arrangement of buildings and grounds reflects how nobility organized their daily life and showed their status through their surroundings.
Visits can be arranged by contacting the current family who maintain and sometimes open the property to guests. The setting is rural, so a car or public transport is needed to reach this location.
The property underwent complete restoration a few decades ago, returning it to its original form and structure. This renovation saved important handcrafted details that might otherwise have been lost.
