The Boyneburgk estate near Wichmannshausen, a district of the town of Sontra in the north Hessian Werra-Meißner district, is a former manor with a long history. It is first documented in 1460 and has been owned by the von Boyneburg or Boyneburgk family since that time.

The estate is 339 m above sea level. NN in the district Wichmannshausen west below the Boyneburg at the foot of the wooded mountain Boyneburg (513 m above sea level), about 2 km east-southeast of Wichmannshausen. About 150 meters further south is Boyneburgk Castle.

Between the manor and the castle springs the stream "Datterpfeife", which first feeds a small pond there, then flows west, receives the about 500 meters northeast of the manor originating "Hinterbach" and after about 3 km in Wichmannshausen about 300 m north of the mouth of the Ulfe also flows into the Sontra.

Cozy walk from Grandenborn. The Boyneburg was probably built in the 11th century by the Counts of Northeim. The castle ruins are freely accessible.

Small oasis in the middle of the forest, a little above a beautiful meadow that invites you to take photos in the early sunbeam
