Haus Blessenohl, Architectural heritage monument in Eslohe, Germany.
Haus Blessenohl sits about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) north of Eslohe-Wenholthausen along Landesstraße 541 and displays typical features of regional manor houses. The building ensemble combines architectural elements from different periods into a coherent structure.
The property was first documented in 1425 as belonging to the von Beringhausen family. It underwent a major transformation between 1741 and 1742, changing from a farmhouse into a manor house.
The house has served different community purposes over time, first as a youth education facility and later as a retirement home run by a church. This varied use shaped it as a place for people at different stages of life.
The site is easily accessible via Landesstraße 541 and sits in a quiet rural setting. Visitors should note that this is a private property visible from the road.
In 1869, Maximilian von Kleinsorgen consolidated the estates of Blessenohl, Schüren, and Bettinghausen into a single family holding. This consolidation created a large unified property that reflected the family's economic power.
