Blomenburg, Gothic Revival hunting lodge in Selent, Germany
Blomenburg is a two-story brick manor in the Gothic Revival style, located in Selent, Schleswig-Holstein, with multiple towers and English Tudor details on its exterior. The grounds around it include landscaped gardens, walking paths, and old-growth trees.
Count Otto von Blome acquired the former Lammershagen estate in 1829 and had the current manor built between 1844 and 1848. The construction took place during a period when Gothic Revival architecture was widely adopted across Europe.
The name Blomenburg comes from the von Blome family, who shaped the estate in the 19th century. Today the building operates as a therapy clinic, and visitors can observe it from the paths that run through the grounds.
The grounds are best explored on foot, as the paths through the park provide a natural route around the property. Sturdy shoes are a good idea, as some sections of the park may have uneven terrain.
The gatehouse and forecourt at Blomenburg remain largely in their original form, offering a rare look at how arrivals to such estates were once arranged. This entrance area is often the only part visitors can experience without special access.
