Gut Hasselholz, Protected estate in Aachen, Germany

Gut Hasselholz features a quadrangular courtyard layout with agricultural buildings from 1830 and a separate tenant house constructed in 1860 at the city edge.

The manor house, added in 1871 as the final component of the estate, served as a summer residence for an Aachen textile manufacturer during the industrial period.

The estate represents the evolution of North Rhine-Westphalia farming practices, transitioning from conventional dairy farming to organic agriculture in the 1990s.

Located in the Hanbruch district near the Belgian border, the estate provides fresh air circulation from Aachen Forest to the city basin.

During World War II, the estate became part of the German defense line against US troops, resulting in structural damage visible through bullet holes in the facades.
