Schloss Ottenfeld, Manor house in Duffesheide, Germany

The three-story brick manor features high-arched windows, slate shingles, and two tower wings with gables adorned by round arch friezes.

First documented in 1420 as Kurmutgut, the estate changed ownership from Aachen Cross Knights to Barons von Blanckart in the 17th century.

The estate complex includes a representative manor house, a three-wing agricultural building, and a gatehouse connected by a 190-meter avenue.

The property lies along Bundesstrasse 57 between Würselen and Alsdorf, near the Broicher Bach lowlands in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The castle archive disappeared during the American military occupation in 1945, erasing substantial documentation of the estate's past.
