Gut Varrel, Heritage estate in Stuhr, Germany.

Gut Varrel is an estate in Stuhr featuring stone and timber-framed buildings characteristic of regional construction methods. The complex includes a main house, agricultural buildings, and auxiliary structures arranged around a central courtyard.

Gut Varrel was founded in 1381 when Count Otto IV of Oldenburg-Delmenhorst, a vassal of the Archbishopric of Bremen, authorised the establishment of a monastic estate, run by monastery stewards. In 1581 Count Anton I of Oldenburg took it over during secularisation and ran it as a comital estate under a steward. In 1606 he dammed the Klosterbach, today the Varreler Bäke, and built a copper mill, sold in 1655 to the coppersmith Berndt Pundt, the first bourgeois owner. The municipality of Stuhr bought the estate in 1976 from the widow Dora Meyer.

The name Varrel goes back to the 1289 charter of Archbishop Giselbert of Bremen, which mentions "Verlebrinc". The Förderverein Gut Varrel, founded in 1980 with around 580 members (2022), maintains the site and publishes the Varreler Gutspost. Concerts, theatre, comedy, lectures, Easter fires, summer festivals and weddings are held here, and the Backhaus has been used for baking again since 2004.

The site is at An der Graft 3 in Stuhr, on the Varreler Bäke. The Förderverein Gut Varrel, about 580 members strong, maintains the grounds and buildings; the mill now serves as the TuS Varrel clubhouse with a dining area, and the 620 m² barn hall hosts events. The Rauchhaus, a thatched farmhouse of 1825, stands 500 m away on the Grüne Straße.

The bakehouse was built in 1734 in Stiftenhöfte near Harpstedt, dismantled in 1988 and rebuilt here in 2002; since 2004 it has been used for baking again. The Rauchhaus, a thatched timber-framed house of 1825 without a chimney, stands 500 m away on the Grüne Straße and is now a museum.
