Gut Mehlbek

The estate spans over agricultural land and includes multiple buildings, with a preserved half-timbered barn standing as the central structure on the property.

Danish King Christian III granted the water mill and settlement to knight Johann Rantzau in 1538, who established the manor and developed the estate.

The name Mehlbek derives from the Low German term for Mill Brook, referring to the Mühlenau that flows into the Bekau River where a water mill operated.

The estate functions as an agricultural enterprise, specializing in crop cultivation and pig farming while maintaining its historical structures under preservation regulations.

The municipal coat of arms of Mehlbek incorporates elements from the estate, featuring a mill wheel and barn to represent the community's agricultural heritage.
