Löhrstorf Manor

The noble estate of Loehrstorf (formerly Loehrstorff) was first mentioned in the 14th century. The manor house is a massive building with a mansard roof and is situated in an extensive park. The courtyard island with the manor house and farm buildings is surrounded by a wide moat and can only be reached via two bridges. In 1384, the estate is mentioned as property of the Cistercian monastery in Reinfeld, but soon after came into the possession of the von Rantzaus and remained with this large family for over 300 years. Afterwards, Loehrstorf had various other owners, such as von Buelow, von Hardenberg, and von Reventlow. In 1722, under Baron Cuno Josua von Buelow, an extension was added to the manor house and furnished with valuable stucco work, attributed to the Italian stucco artist Giuseppe Moggia. Since 1904, the estate has been owned by the Paarmann family, who had the manor house extensively rebuilt in 1920 by the Luebeck architect Wilhelm Braeck. Interior painting by Albert Aereboe. Garden design according to plans by Harry Maasz. Today, the Loehrstorf estate includes several hundred hectares of arable land, part of which directly adjoins the farm.
