Gutshof, Historic manor estate in Schonungen, Germany

Reichelshof is a hamlet in the municipality of Schonungen, on the left bank of the Main. Its centre is the historic estate that gives it its name, whose manor house was built between 1870 and 1880 as a two-storey hip-roofed building in Neo-Renaissance style with corner quoins. Farm buildings from several centuries are grouped around it, some older than the manor house.

Reichelshof was first documented in 1094, when the farm lay within the sphere of the Benedictine monastery of Theres near Haßfurt; Emperor Charles IV confirmed the monastery's holdings, including the farm, in 1366. Armies passing through during the Thirty Years' War devastated it, and it lay deserted in 1636. The present manor house was built between 1870 and 1880, while the farm buildings grouped around it date from several different centuries.

The name Reichelshof probably derives from the personal name Rihhari. Since 2004 the historic estate has housed the Natur- und Umweltgarten Reichelshof, a state-recognised environmental station where children and adults can experience nature and help shape their surroundings.

Reichelshof lies on the left, southern bank of the Main, 4 km east of Schweinfurt's centre, and is reached only via a cul-de-sac road from Sennfeld. The historic estate, three outlying farms and a scattered settlement 500 m to the northwest make up the place. The wooded Rückerschlag hill to the south screens noise from the A70 motorway.

The main house connects to farm buildings that show how rural estates combined residence and agricultural functions in one complex. This arrangement was typical of self-sufficient properties from the late 1800s.
