Ehemaliges Lehensgut Menzlas, zweigeschossiger Schopfwalmdachbau, bezeichnet mit „1891“, im Kern um 1800
The Ehemaliges Lehensgut Menzlas is a two-story farmstead manor in Schlammersdorf, Bavaria, featuring solid stone walls and a distinctive roof design. The main residence is complemented by farm buildings, including a former stable, that together form a typical rural noble estate.
The estate was granted as a fief to Konrad Kellner around 1408 and later passed to noble families including the Lords of Schlammersdorf. In the 17th century, Wolf Ernst von Lindenfels combined it with neighboring properties, and the building was reconstructed around 1800 into its current form.
The estate served as a residence for noble families and shaped the character of rural Menzlas over centuries. The buildings reveal how farmsteads functioned, with living quarters alongside structures for farm work and daily operations.
The building is protected as a historical monument and can be viewed from the outside, but it remains private property and is not open to visitors. The best view is from the road when passing through or walking around the village of Menzlas.
Several noble estates in Schlammersdorf were reportedly connected by underground passages, suggesting a network of escape routes or secret connections between manors. These accounts reveal how closely the local aristocratic families were linked to one another.
