Gut Rohlstorf, Neo-baroque manor house in Rohlstorf, Germany.
Gut Rohlstorf is a two-story manor house built in 1912 positioned directly on the banks of Lake Wardersee, featuring neo-baroque architecture with design influences from the nearby Gut Pronstorf estate. The facade displays the characteristic features of that era, including carefully crafted windows, cornices, and decorative details.
The origins of the estate trace back to the 16th century under the Wensin family. Later the property changed hands when Danish King Christian IV granted it to General Christer Somme in 1614.
The building now houses a boarding school that teaches students within its historic rooms while maintaining the original character of the structure. The school uses the elegant chambers and halls of the manor for daily instruction and school operations.
Visitors should contact ahead as the property is not continuously open to the public. Regularly scheduled open house days and special events offer opportunities to explore the manor house from inside.
The northern side of the property facing Lake Wardersee shows an unusual feature for manor houses of that era: it lacks the wing-like projections or risalits that were otherwise common. This simpler design gives the lakeside facade an unexpected grace.
