Herrenhaus Krebsburg

The rectangular two-story building features a central entrance with triangular gable and bell tower, surrounded by a water-filled moat in northern Germany.

First documented in 1347 as a fiefdom of the Counts of Bentheim, the original structure fell into disrepair by 1642 and was rebuilt in 1750.

The manor represents Lower Saxony architectural traditions with its broken stone construction, double-flight staircase, and traditional German residential design elements.

The property changed ownership in 2011 from a care facility for disabled persons to private owners, making interior visits currently restricted.

Remnants of the original castle foundations and moat system remain visible in the marshy ground north of the current manor house.
