Manor Nordgoltern, Manor estate in Nordgoltern, Barsinghausen, Germany
Manor Nordgoltern is an estate in Barsinghausen with a four-sided building complex surrounded by a water-filled moat. The property includes several agricultural structures from the 19th and early 20th centuries that are now protected monuments.
The property changed hands around 1300 when the von Goltern family sold it to the von Heimburg family, beginning a long history of different owners. This early transfer established the estate as a significant landholding in the region.
The chapel built in 1713 shows how the estate's inhabitants integrated their faith into daily life on the property. This small religious space reveals the spiritual practices that mattered to the families living here.
The estate can be accessed from the B65 highway through an entrance gate that marks the enclosed property. Views of the complex are best obtained from the surrounding country lanes that border the fields and park areas around the site.
The estate is protected by a water-filled moat that preserves the traditional defensive water feature of old manor farms. Grazing fields stretch to the north, while an estate park to the west reveals how the grounds blended working land with designed green space.
