History+

The history of Gut Dollrott begins with its mention in King Valdemar's Cadastre in 1231 as a royal estate. It later came into the possession of the von Ahlefeld family. In 1609, Hinrich von Ahlefeld had the rear central risalit built, which originally featured a gate passage. Shortly thereafter, the north wing was also constructed. A donor's plaque above the gate passage dedicated the building by Hinrich von Ahlefeld to his wife Anna as a widow's residence. During the Thirty Years' War, the estate was owned by the Duchy of Gottorf and was surrounded by a moat, largely preserved to this day, for protection against passing troops and marauders. Despite these measures, the estate experienced quartering, looting, and arson. In the 18th century, the estate was associated with the Königstein, Wedderkop, and Viereck families.
