Gut Farve, Gothic Revival manor house in Wangels, Germany
Gut Farve is a manor house in Wangels displaying 19th-century historicist features set within landscaped gardens and grounds. The building shows characteristic design elements of that period and is maintained as a protected monument.
A Pogwisch castle stood here in the Middle Ages until King Christian I of Denmark had it destroyed in 1480. The family rebuilt at the start of the 16th century, and that structure forms the core of today's house. The Pogwisch held Farve until 1662, when it passed by inheritance to the von Blome; after brief changes of owner it returned to them by a 1749 marriage. From 1837 Count Ernst von Reventlow had Joseph Eduard Mose remodel it in neo-Gothic style.
The name Farve comes from the Pogwisch family's medieval castle, held here until 1662, when inheritance passed the estate to the von Blome. The Farver Mühle, an Erdholländer windmill of 1828 north of the farmyard, is the estate's one part open to visitors.
The manor house and estate are privately owned and not open to visitors; only the Farver Mühle, the estate's windmill, can be visited. The mill is an Erdholländer built in 1828 and stands north of the farmyard, whose stables partly date from the 18th century.
The four-winged layout around an inner courtyard is rare in Schleswig-Holstein, where noble estates usually had double houses or one- to three-winged plans. The main tower, west and south wings and the courtyard's Renaissance portals survive from the early 16th-century castle begun by the Pogwisch family.
