Münchhausenhof

The Münchhausenhof features a two-winged structure positioned along a Weser river arm, with an octagonal stair tower from 1536 and a southern wing portal from 1585.

Built in 1583 in Weserrenaissance style, the manor belonged to the ministerial family von dem Bussche since the 14th century before transferring to Börries von Münchhausen in 1559.

The Knights' Hall contains historical elements including a door and fireplace with decorative ironwork, representing the architectural craftsmanship of the Renaissance period.

The surrounding park remains open to visitors, while the manor house, sold in 1947, operates as a 200-hectare agricultural enterprise under the Diers-Möller family management.

Ludolf von Münchhausen, who resided at the estate until 1640, collected an extensive library and commissioned a sundial from Henning Ebbeke in 1596.
