Beinrode Manor
The Beinrode Estate+
History and Architecture+
From the private Beinrode farmstead, a model estate reminiscent of a Baroque country palace was developed after 1729 for the former Cistercian monastery of Reifenstein, located only five kilometers away. The then Abbot Martin Günther commissioned the Dingelstädt master builder and architect Johann Christian Heinemann for this purpose. The estate was temporarily used as a rural boarding school and has been owned by the Provincial Saxon Cooperative of the Order of St. John since 2004. Training courses are conducted in the building complex, and apprenticeships are provided for disadvantaged young people. The location also serves as a hostel for pilgrims on the Loccum–Volkenroda pilgrimage route.
