Gut Hasselholz, Protected estate in Aachen, Germany
Description
Gut Hasselholz is a protected estate in Aachen with a four-sided courtyard and several farm buildings from different periods. The agricultural structures date to around 1830, a tenant house was added in 1860, and the manor house came last in 1871.
History
The estate began as a working farm with its first buildings around 1830 and was later expanded with a manor house for a textile manufacturer from Aachen. It became caught in fighting during World War II, and damage from that period remains visible on the facades today.
Culture
The estate reflects how farming in the region evolved, shifting toward organic methods starting in the 1990s. Today visitors can still notice how this change shaped the way the buildings are maintained and used.
Practical
The estate sits at the edge of Aachen in the Hanbruch district, not far from the Belgian border. Its location makes it easy to walk around the grounds and nearby areas, and you can reach the Aachen Forest on foot.
Did you know?
Bullet holes from World War II are still visible on the facades if you look closely. These marks are a reminder that the estate was directly caught in the fighting.
