Gut Rothenhoff, Manor estate in Porta Westfalica, Germany

Rothenhoff Manor encompasses 55 hectares of land with a classical mansion constructed in 1863, featuring late classical architectural elements and an English landscape park.

The estate, first documented in 1230 as a holding of the Bishops of Minden, changed ownership through Swedish, French, and Prussian rule during significant European conflicts.

The manor served as headquarters for the British Rhine Army from 1945 to 1954, receiving distinguished guests including Princess Margaret and General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Monument protection regulations since 1984 cover the main buildings, ancestral burial site, and remaining sections of the historical park layout.

The property underwent transformation from its original 300 hectares of agricultural land to its current state, with sections converted for gravel extraction since the 1900s.
