Gutshaus Quassel, Manor house in Lübtheen, Germany
Gutshaus Quassel is a manor house in Lübtheen with Gothic Revival details, completed in 1886, featuring timber-frame construction with ornamental facade elements and pointed towers. The building sits within a protected park established in 1987, which includes a large lawn area in front of the main structure.
The estate originally belonged to the von Lützow family and passed to other noble families in 1721, including the counts von Eckstedt-Peterswaldt and the von Paepcke family. Its distinctive appearance with prominent towers was completed in the late 1800s.
The manor held significance for regional art through Elisabeth von Eicken, who created paintings of the estate after marrying into the family living there. Her works captured how the building and its surroundings were valued across generations.
The surrounding park is open to visitors and offers pathways through landscaped grounds suitable for a walking visit. The lawn area in front of the manor makes a natural focal point for viewing and photography.
In April 1945, the manor briefly served as a command post for the Reich Air Fleet under Colonel General Hans-Jürgen Stumpff during the final months of World War II. This military chapter, now long past, is a surprising piece of the building's wartime story that few visitors might expect.
