Herrenhaus Hoyerswort, Renaissance manor house in Oldenswort, Germany

The Herrenhaus Hoyerswort features three floors of brick construction with an L-shaped layout and a double moat surrounding its perimeter.

Caspar Hoyer, advisor to Duke Adolf of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, initiated the construction of the manor house between 1564 and 1580.

The manor represents the sole aristocratic estate on Schleswig-Holstein's west coast, marking a departure from the region's predominantly non-aristocratic structure.

The manor now functions as a public attraction with a ceramics workshop, museum, and café established by ceramist Alfred Jordy in 2011.

A thatched-roof Haubarg barn from 1704 stands in the park-like garden, demonstrating North Frisian architectural adaptations to extreme weather conditions.
