Wittenborgh, Estate in Driftsethe, Germany
The property features a grand villa designed by architect Hugo Wagner in 1914, with a 500-meter maple tree avenue leading to the main building.
The estate was established in 1851 by Jakob Illjes as a small villa with gardens, before Carl Ahrend Ficke acquired and expanded the property.
Two protected mausoleums stand on the grounds: one built from glacial boulders for the Illjes family in 1854 and another in neoclassical style for the Ficke family.
The estate's forest areas are accessible for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and carriage rides throughout the year.
Since 2000, the forest surrounding Wittenborgh undergoes rewilding, supporting natural processes and biodiversity, with wolves spotted since 2015.
