Schloss Harnekop, Manor house in Harnekop, Germany
Schloss Harnekop was a two-story manor with thirteen windows on each main facade and distinctive mansard roofs. The building structure reflected the style of classical estate architecture from the early 18th century.
The manor house was built between 1712 and 1717 under Paul Anton von Kameke as a new construction. It changed hands several times over the centuries before being destroyed in 1945 due to wartime damage.
The estate belonged to notable figures including Russian ambassador Count Peter Friedrich Christian von Golowkin, who named it Schloss Monchoix in 1772.
Today only minimal remains of the manor house are visible, as the structure was completely demolished around 1970. Local residents repurposed the building materials for their own construction projects.
The estate served as a training school for the SA starting in July 1932 and was briefly used by the Reich Chancellor himself in early 1945 for a military situation assessment. This episode reveals the complex role the location played during the Nazi era.
