Wonderful location on the lake. Lots of old forest and magnificent avenues.

Built in 1583, the Seedorf gatehouse is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Schleswig-Holstein. The moats, ramparts and loopholes that still exist today reveal its former function as a well-protected castle complex. The former prison cells and torture chamber now house museum rooms, and concerts are held in the Knights' Hall. There are also regular guided tours of the museum. The newly designed exhibition focuses primarily on estate life in Seedorf and the stories of the owners' families. In addition to exhibits, the exhibition includes text panels created by a project group from Christian-Albrechts University. Estates of this period usually had a stately manor house, which in some places was also called a castle because of its magnificent architectural style. The lords of the manor lived in the manor house with their families. Behind the manor house there was an elaborate park or garden. In front of the manor house was the forecourt, which was surrounded by numerous stables and farm buildings. There were also apartments for the staff, a bakery, saddlery, etc., unless these were relocated to side farms. The front end was a gatehouse, which was intended to demonstrate the grandeur of the estate and protect it from intruders. The access roads to the gatehouse were planted with avenues. This made the estate's claim to power over the region visible from afar. https://www.holsteinischeschweiz.de/poi/seedorfer-torhaus

Cycle along the moat of the Seedorf estate and look at everything. Finally, an estate where not everything is private. Note the four cannons in the gatehouse and the horse rings on the ceiling at the gate passage.

Everything has already been written.

Unfortunately, the "castle" is not open to the public. All photos are of the metal gate at the entrance. A neo-Gothic country house was built at the end of the 19th century on the so-called Pferdeberg hill on the steep eastern shore of Lake Belauer. In the 1920s, it was popular as a "castle restaurant."

A beautiful gatehouse with an interesting history. The gatehouse was built in 1583 in the Dutch late Renaissance style. It is part of the fortifications of the Seedorf estate.

Access possible from the rear via asphalt

Built in 1583, the Seedorfer Torhaus is one of the most important Renaissance buildings in Schleswig-Holstein. The trenches, ramparts and loopholes that are still preserved today reveal its former function as a well-protected castle complex. Museum rooms are now housed in the former prison cells and the torture chamber, and concerts are held in the knight's hall. In front of the manor house was the forecourt, which was surrounded by numerous stables and farm buildings. There were also apartments for the staff, a bakery, saddlery, etc., unless these were outsourced to side courtyards. The front end was formed by a gatehouse, which was supposed to demonstrate the grandeur of the estate and protect it from intruders. The access roads to the gatehouse were planted with avenues. The manor's claim to power in the region was thus visible from afar. https://www.holsteinischeschweiz.de/poi/seedorfer-torhaus
