Historically, the manor house and the castle differ less in their occupants than in their function. The terms castle and castle are rooted etymologically in defense; the term has taken on an expanded meaning for the castle since the Renaissance.
The manor house, on the other hand, is always the center of a manor, such as a knightly manor or - in Schleswig-Holstein - noble manor (both are legal terms, because historically they presuppose legal status, namely the membership of the manor in the locally organized knighthood represented in the state parliament) .
In any case, a manor was the center of an agricultural enterprise, a manor, or at least an estate with arable farming or a winery, forest property or pond property.
