The mansion is located on a cobblestone passage. The effort is worth it, as the old fire station can also be viewed from behind.
On the history of the mansion, which is now the seat of the Institute for Organic Farming:
In the last quarter of the 19th century, under the Poel family who owned the Trenthorst/Wulmenau double estate, a new manor house was built in Trenthorst on the foundations of a previous building as a two-storey building in a late classicistic-historical style, with a hipped roof featuring two dormers on each of the four sides. To the east, the main house had a two-story extension.
As the new owner, the Harburg oil manufacturer Friedrich Thörl had the entire estate carried out by the Hamburg architect Walther Eduard Heubel from 1911 onwards. After Heubel's death in World War I, the Hamburg architect Robert Struhs continued the conversion work on the manor house in 1919 according to Heubel's designs. The building received the large mansard roof including the "observatory" on the top and the facade design that still exists today.
After the property was transferred to the Bad Oldesloer entrepreneur Friedrich Bölck in 1928/29, he had the mansion v. a. Make changes to the interior.
Under the aegis of the Hamburg cigarette manufacturer Philipp Fürchtegott Reemtsma (1936-1949), the manor house underwent only minor modernizations. In 1943, Butenhamburgers who had been bombed out and, after the end of the Second World War, refugees from the former eastern German territories, some of whom were relatives of the Reemtsma family, were housed there.
