Hofanlage Pennigbeck 6, architectural structure in Osterholz, Syke, Germany
Hofanlage Pennigbeck 6 is a 19th-century farmstead in Syke-Osterholz consisting of a brick residential and economic building in the Gründerzeit style, built as a Low German hall house with segmental and round arches over the gate, doors and windows, plus a former smithy with a gabled roof. The main building's interior is preserved in its original form; other non-listed buildings complete the group.
Osterholz was first mentioned around 1250 as Osterholte in the Bremen bridge list. The farmstead itself dates from the 19th century: a brick residential and farm building in the Gründerzeit style, shaped as a Low German hall house, with a former smithy under a gabled roof. The ensemble is a protected monument, listed among Osterholz's architectural monuments.
The main house is a brick Gründerzeit building in the form of a Low German hall house, with segmental and round arches over the gate, doors and windows. The former smithy is a separate brick building with a gabled roof. The interior of the main building survives in its original state.
One building of the farmstead is used by a law office (as of 2022), so the complex is viewed from outside. The brick main house with its segmental and round arches over gate, doors and windows faces the street; the former smithy with its gabled roof stands among the outbuildings.
The former smithy is a separate brick building with a pitched roof, distinct from the main house, and is not protected as a monument along with the other outbuildings. The main house interior survives largely in its original state, while one building has housed a law office since at least 2022.
