Groß Engershausen Manor (Preußisch Oldendorf)

The origins of the knight's estate Engershausen date back to the period between 1491 and 1510, when it was built under the aegis of Reinecke II. von Schloen, known as Tribbe, the then bailiff of Limburg. After the von Schloen family died out in 1671, the Hessian von Berner family took over the property. A change of ownership occurred in 1838, when the estate was sold to the von Spiegel zu Desenberg-Rothenburg family. It later passed by inheritance to the Barons von Spiegel von und zu Peckelsheim zu Bielefeld Spiegelsberge. The current manor house, a plastered half-timbered building with a hip roof, was built around 1770.
