Eilhausen

Eilhausen is an estate in the Orpe valley near Kohlgrund district that sprawls across farmland and buildings on a substantial property. The present manor house, erected in 1816, serves as the focal point of this rural holding.

The site began as a water castle built by Corvey Abbey in 1125 and later became significant under the control of the Counts of Waldeck. This shift shaped its evolution from a monastic possession into a noble administrative holding.

The estate reflects its historical connection to the Counts of Waldeck, who used it as an administrative center for generations. Visitors can see how such properties functioned within regional governance and rural life.

The property sits near Bad Arolsen and provides easy access to local services including schools, shops, and medical facilities in the town. This location makes it convenient for visitors exploring the rural Hessian landscape.

The birthplace and deathplace of Count Wolrad II are marked by the manor house built in 1816 on the same spot, giving the property a personal historical dimension. This connection places the family at the heart of its administrative legacy.
