Herrenhaus Pronstorf, Manor house and castle in Pronstorf, Germany
Herrenhaus Pronstorf is a manor house and castle in Pronstorf, Schleswig-Holstein, built in red brick with an eleven-axis facade and a mansard roof. The building rises on a high basement floor and is framed by decorative pilasters along its exterior walls.
The estate was first recorded as Pronestorpe in 1307 and served for centuries as a knight's seat in the region. The current building dates from the late 1720s, replacing earlier structures on the property.
The interior displays Baroque and neo-classical elements that create an elegant mix of different artistic periods in the rooms. Visitors can walk through the grand vestibule and formal salon to see how the residents lived and entertained.
The grounds include farmland and forest, so comfortable shoes are recommended for walking around the estate. A converted granary on site offers both exhibition space and accommodation for those who want to stay longer.
The sandstone portal, designed by J.P. Richter in 1780, is one of the few dated examples of his work still standing in the region. The estate also retains a late Baroque cavalier house from 1790, which survives as a separate building beside the main house.
