Hofgut Kranichstein, Baroque estate in Kranichstein, Germany.

Hofgut Kranichstein is a Baroque estate at Kranichsteiner Straße 250 in Darmstadt-Kranichstein, built as a sheep farm under Landgrave Georg I. Its two-storey manor house has four window axes, plastered walls with corners of red Odenwald sandstone, and a slate mansard roof with four gable hoods facing the courtyard. The buildings form a long rectangular quadrangle around a large inner courtyard, entered through a wrought-iron gate in the southeast; a barn and former stables, some in brick, enclose the other sides.

The Hofgut Kranichstein was established under Landgrave Georg I of Hesse-Darmstadt as a sheep farm, supplying his court with meat and wool alongside fish farming. The Baroque manor house and stables were built as part of this agricultural estate. Today the former farm serves as the Hessian state performance centre for equestrian sports.

The estate began as a sheep farm under Landgrave Georg I, supplying his court with meat alongside the landgraves' fish ponds. Today the former manor house holds the restaurant Die Sattlerei, and the site is run as the Hessian state training centre for equestrian sport, hosting its own dressage and show-jumping tournaments.

The estate lies on Kranichsteiner Straße 250 in Darmstadt-Kranichstein, outside the city centre. The entrance is through a wrought-iron gate in the south-east corner of the courtyard. The newer riding facilities, with two indoor arenas and four outdoor courts, adjoin the complex to the north-west.

The estate is the Hessian state performance centre for equestrian sport and hosts its own riding tournaments; its grounds hold two indoor arenas, a lungeing hall, four outdoor courts and a horse walker. At the south-east entrance, visible from Kranichsteiner Straße, stands Arthur Volkmann's bronze statue Jüngling zu Pferde, made around 1900.
