Manor house from 1750. Location: Am Wallteich 23 in Benthe.
The manor house, a former estate that shaped the townscape, was probably used as an official residence, a noble residence, and guest house for the Hanoverian court of the Welfs after its construction. It is one of the oldest and most historically significant surviving buildings in Benthe.
