Gut Mühlenthal, Protected cultural heritage building in Burglesum, Bremen, Germany.
Gut Mühlenthal is a former gatekeeper's residence located within Knoops Park, displaying architectural features from the 19th century. The masonry and window arrangement reflect building styles common to the region during that era.
The two gatehouses were built in 1871 to plans by Gustav Runge for the manufacturer Ludwig Knoop, as part of his Tudor Gothic Schloss Mühlenthal in today's Knoops Park. The castle was demolished in 1933; only the gatehouses survived. They have been listed as Bremen monuments since 1973.
The two gatehouses are the former porter's lodge and gardener's house of Ludwig Knoop's Mühlenthal estate. The porter's lodge carries a prominent cornice with corner pinnacles; the gardener's house has two gables. Both were built in 1871 to plans by Gustav Runge, and the surrounding gardens were laid out by Wilhelm Benque.
The site is accessible by local bus or on foot from Bremen-St. Magnus railway station through park pathways. The building can be viewed from outside and is situated within park grounds with defined access points.
