A beautiful gatehouse with an interesting history. The gatehouse was built in 1583 in the Dutch late Renaissance style. It is part of the fortifications of the Seedorf estate.

The estate Seedorf was a noble estate in the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg. Among his early owner families were the noble families of Seedorf, Brockdorff, Scharpenberg and Lützow. The gatehouse is extraordinary. It was the vestibule to Gut Seedorf and acts like a small castle, which was built in 1583 in the style of the Dutch late Renaissance as part of the fortification of the Good Seedorf. The building consists of the actual gatehouse, which in turn is flanked by two towers.

The gatehouse in Seedorf was built in 1583 in the Dutch late Renaissance style as part of the fortifications of the Seedorf estate.
The building consists of the actual gatehouse, which in turn is flanked by two towers. It was built of bricks - the facade is structured with sandstone window frames and cornices and has numerous decorative anchors. The three-storey gatehouse has a hipped roof covered with roof tiles, the towers have slate-covered spires.
On the front, the gatehouse has four granite loopholes on the lower floor, in which there are small cannons.
In 1929, the gatehouse was listed as a historical monument and became the property of the Seedorf municipality. It is part of the Seedorf municipality's coat of arms.
The gatehouse was extensively renovated between 1963 and 1968 and between 2000 and 2002. Today it is used for events, as a museum, as a registry office, archive and office.
