Gut Obernfelde, Manor house in Lübbecke, Germany
Gut Obernfelde is a manor house in southern Lübbecke organized around a central courtyard with parallel building rows. The main residence and farm structures sit on the northern slope of the Wiehengebirge mountains, forming a closed court complex with old linden trees lining the driveways.
The estate was first documented around 1540 and came under the ownership of the von Korff family in 1730, who provided several district administrators for Minden. An orangery was built between 1828 and 1829 and continues to define the property's appearance today.
The estate was first recorded in 1540 and remains a place where regional owners of historical buildings gather. The association Herrenhäuser und Parks im Mühlenkreis was founded here in 2007 and continues to connect people devoted to preserving old properties.
The grounds are not open to the public, but the exterior architecture of the main building can be observed from outside. The old linden trees along the driveways provide a good sense of the property's historical landscape design.
The orangery, built between 1828 and 1829, served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II, a surprising use for such a building. By 1980 it had been entirely converted into residential housing, showing an unusual story of adaptation.
