Gut Altenhof, Cultural heritage manor house in Altenhof, Germany.
Gut Altenhof is a manor house with two service wings built between 1722 and 1728 in Schleswig-Holstein. The estate now functions as a golf course that has welcomed visitors and members since 1971.
The manor was built in the 1720s as a classical estate during a period of local prosperity. Marie-Luise von Bethmann Hollweg purchased it in 1938, and after World War II it served as residence for British officials.
The estate hosts musical performances during the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, bringing concerts to its historic spaces and grounds. These events create a connection between the property's past and present cultural use.
The grounds are accessible during the golf season, with facilities available for players and visitors on site. The historic rooms can sometimes be explored during special events, so checking the event calendar beforehand is helpful.
Within the park lies the remains of a medieval motte, an early earthen fortification that predates the current mansion. This archaeological layer reveals how the site was inhabited in different historical periods.
