Schloss Nennhausen

Schloss Nennhausen is a two-story manor house built in Norman style with symmetrical design and carefully balanced window arrangements across its main facade. The residence displays formal proportions typical of the period and includes an Orangerie section that now serves event spaces and guest accommodation.

The manor was built in 1705 and underwent significant renovations between 1735 and 1737, with additional modifications made in 1859. These periods of change show how the building adapted to evolving tastes and needs over more than a century.

Writer Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué made this his home from 1803 to 1833, shaping the manor's connection to German literature. His presence left a lasting mark on how people remember the place.

The manor is accessible to visitors who can explore the exterior and the Orangerie section that now hosts events and accommodation. Consider visiting during milder seasons when you can fully appreciate the building's architectural details and its surroundings.

A fire severely damaged the manor in 1983, but careful restoration work from 1997 to 2001 brought it back to its earlier appearance. This meticulous rebuilding preserved architectural details that might otherwise have been lost forever.
