Gut Loxten, Manor estate and water castle in Nortrup, Germany
The manor complex features a rectangular main castle island surrounded by walls, with two pavilions in the northern corners and auxiliary buildings along the access road.
Johann von Dinklage constructed Gut Loxten in 1474 on an existing farm that came as a fief from the County of Tecklenburg through his wife Rixa von Brawe.
The architecture displays Dutch Renaissance elements through its two-story main building, central risalit at the back, and a portico at the front entrance.
The estate maintains water-filled moats on its northern and western sides, while the southern and eastern sections of the outer bailey contain only one remaining service building.
The Hammerstein-Loxten family has maintained continuous residence in the renovated estate since 1682, when Christian Günther von Hammerstein acquired the property.
