Gut Bossee

A nice old estate with a nice Christmas market in the Advent season.

After the destruction of the medieval castles and the extinction of the Westensee knightly family, the Lords of Ahlefeld relocated their residence to the site of the Bossee estate. 1470 Bossee is mentioned for the first time as the mansion of the von Ahlefeld family. This makes it the oldest property in the community. The vaulted cellar of a building from the 15th century is still preserved under the present manor house. A first mansion was built in the 16th century. Under the Rantzau family, the farm received the large farm buildings that still exist today. After several changes of ownership, the estate is now owned by the Bülow family. Detlev von Bülow had the former gatehouse replaced by a water tower around 1900, which supplied the courtyard with water well into the 20th century. The mansion was redesigned in 1897.dewiki.de/Lexikon/Westensee_(Gemeinde)
