Slevogthof

Slevogthof is a manor house with a distinctive octagonal tower, whose wings contain various rooms including living quarters, a music room, and a library. The building combines the classic structure of a country estate with elements reflecting its later artistic owner.

The building originated in the 12th century as a farmstead of Reichsburg Neukastel. After its destruction in 1689, it was reconstructed in the early modern period and has shaped the landscape since then.

The painter Max Slevogt left his artistic mark throughout the rooms, with walls and ceilings decorated with scenes from operas and literary works. The spaces feel like a living artwork that reflects his passion for theater and literature.

Visitors can contact ARCHImedes Bauträger GmbH to arrange tours, especially beneficial for larger groups seeking guided exploration. It is best to check opening times in advance and wear suitable footwear to explore the estate and surrounding grounds.

A family cemetery rests in the adjacent woods, where painter Max Slevogt and his wife Nini were laid to rest following their deaths in 1932. This secluded spot quietly connects the artist's personal life with the estate's story.
