Salzau Manor

Gut Salzau is an old knight's seat in Holstein, named after the knight Otto von Salzau. It is located in Fargau-Pratjau in the district of Plön in Schleswig-Holstein.

The estate was first mentioned in the second half of the 13th century when Queen Mechthild, the widow of King Abel of Denmark, left him 30 marks. From the 18th to the 20th century, Salzau was owned by the Counts Blome and passed into the possession of the Counts of Thun and Hohenstein after 1945.

The mansion burned down in the 19th century and was rebuilt by Otto von Blome in 1881. The architect of the new building was Joseph Eduard Mose. In 1945 the estate came into the possession of the Counts of Thun-Hohenstein through marriage to the heiress, Countess Josephine Maria Alexandrine von Blome (1902–1984). They lived in the manor house for a year and then moved to the neighboring cavalier house. The castle was a temporary home for refugees from Pomerania, East Prussia and Silesia until 1955.
You can visit the gatehouse - the property only from a distance, because access is restricted to authorized people.

The bike signposts on Gut Salzau have been removed, what a pity. The prohibition signs dominate. Other cyclists were also irritated because komoot has designated the passage as an official cycle path. Let's see how things are developing at Gut Salzau.
