Gut Freienwillen, Manor house in Langballig, Germany

Gut Freienwillen, formerly Langhbalgaard, is a manor estate north of Langballig in the Angeln region of Schleswig-Holstein. Its surviving Herrenhaus stands among farm buildings and fields; the estate was repeatedly parcelled out and sold over the centuries, and the economic buildings were not preserved. It has been run as a working farm by the Hansen family for over 100 years.

The manor house dates to the early modern period and represents the agricultural heritage of Schleswig-Holstein under the influence of regional nobility. Such estates were important centers of both farming and local power during this era.

The estate reflects the shared heritage of German and Danish communities in this border region, visible in its architectural details and layout. The connections between these two cultures have shaped how the property developed over time.

Gut Freienwillen lies north of Langballig in the Angeln region, in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg. The nearest larger town is Flensburg, and the estate is reached by road; the surrounding villages of Langballig and Grundhof lie close by. The estate has been run as a working farm for over a century, so visitors should expect agricultural activity on the grounds.

The estate's name means "free will": in 1433 Duke Adolph VIII granted Lange Nissen the farm free of obligations for loyal service, with the right to bear a noble coat of arms. A tablet in Glücksburg castle chapel recalls that the estate belonged to the dukes of Glücksburg from 1646 to 1676.
