Where the manor stands today, a three-winged castle complex existed in the Middle Ages, owned by the von Rommel, von Rantzau, and von Behr families. This castle, like almost the entire village of Drakenburg, fell victim to flames in 1627 during the Thirty Years' War. The defenders of Nienburg burned down the nearby Drakenburg castle to deprive Tilly's approaching imperial troops of accommodation. In 1648, the van Drebber family rebuilt the east wing of the castle, which forms the present-day residence. The Renaissance archway, built in 1617, survived the fire unscathed. The inscription "TIMENTI DOMINUM NON DEERIT ULLUM BONUM" means "He who fears the Lord will lack nothing good."

Going through the archway, you'll find a room with seating and a table on your right. Snacks and cold drinks are available for purchase there. This is helpful, but you only see it once you "enter" the manor.
