Rittergut Werleshausen, Manor estate in Werleshausen, Germany

The Rittergut Werleshausen features stone foundations, two timber-framed upper floors, and a gabled roof, complemented by a round tower transformed into a staircase.

The foundations and underground vaults of Rittergut Werleshausen date back to 1280, with the von Hanstein family acquiring the estate and surrounding lands in 1336.

The manor estate served as a control point for the Werra Valley and fishing activities, positioned near a salt trade route from Bad Sooden-Allendorf.

Located at Am Rasen 19 in Werleshausen, the estate stands 150 meters from the Werra River and six kilometers northeast of the Hesse-Lower Saxony-Thuringia border.

The round tower displays historical coats of arms, while the main building contains a catacomb-like vault system in its cellar from the 13th century.
