Haus Heidefeld

Haus Heidefeld is a two-story stone manor with symmetrical windows arranged in classical German style in the Spork district. The building displays the careful proportions and craftsmanship typical of early agricultural architecture in the region.

Friedrich Wilhelm von Hamelberg commissioned construction between 1811 and 1813 as part of his agricultural development vision. The building emerged during a period of change in the region's farming methods.

The manor served as a testing ground for new farming practices and animal breeds brought from Dutch and Lower Rhine regions. Visitors can observe how the property's layout reflects its role in agricultural advancement.

The renovated manor now operates as a hotel and restaurant accessible from the Spork district. The property sits on level terrain making it easy to approach, and visitors will find nearby roads convenient for accessing the site.

The grounds once housed the region's first cycling track, created by Klemens Dierkes Junior before the site changed purpose. This unusual feature reveals how the estate served multiple functions beyond agriculture.
