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 honours Count Otto von Blome, who had the lodge built as a hunting seat near his Salzau estate. Since August 2019 it has housed a private psychosomatic clinic opened by Sven Hannawald and Nova Meierhenrich; the building and grounds are private and cannot be visited.

The Blomenburg is a private clinic and the property is not open to visitors; the building and its park can only be seen from outside. The nearest public vantage point is in Selent, near the Selenter See, from where the white brick building with its towers and crenellated parapet is visible. Do not enter the grounds or the drive.

The Blomenburg was built from 1844 to 1848 as a deliberate counterpart to the Hessenstein lookout tower, which Landgrave Friedrich of Hessen had erected a few years earlier on the opposite shore of the Selenter See near Gut Panker; the two buildings arose from friendly rivalry between the counts.
