Herrenhaus Pronstorf, Manor house and castle in Pronstorf, Germany
Herrenhaus Pronstorf is a manor house and castle located in Schleswig-Holstein, featuring an eleven-axis brick facade with a mansard roof and distinctive architectural details. The structure includes a high basement and decorative pilasters that define its red brick exterior.
The estate was originally recorded as Pronestorpe in 1307 and served as a knight's seat before the current building was constructed in the late 1720s. This new structure represented a shift toward more formal architectural design 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 property encompasses over a thousand hectares of agricultural land and forest that frame the visit across the extensive grounds. A converted granary functions as exhibition space and provides accommodation for visitors exploring the estate.
The property features a sandstone portal designed by J.P. Richter in 1780 that showcases the craftsmanship of that era. A late Baroque cavalier house from 1790 adds another layer to the architectural heritage present on the grounds.
