Gut Holzhausen is an estate and manor house (Gut) in Holzhausen, part of Nieheim, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The present buildings of the estate, which goes back to the 14th century, were mostly built in the 19th century. The estate is a listed monument. It is used for biodynamic farming, and also a venue of community events, such as a culture festival called Voices.
The first building was a moated castle from 1312, which was owned from 1484 by the von der Borch family. [1] It consisted of a manor house and a Vorburg. Documented from 1483, the Borch family was resident on the estate, given as a fief of Bishop Simon III zur Lippe , the head of the Diocese of Paderborn. [1]
Some of the present buildings date back to the 16th century. [2] When the moated castle was destroyed by a fire, the Borch family erected a manor house in Neoclassical style, built from 1801 to 1809 by Wilhelm Carl Hisner, an architect from Kassel, within the former moat. [1]
Close to the manor house are four stables. The estate is well preserved and a listed monument. It is still used as a farm, following the standards of the Demeter organisation for biodynamic agriculture. [2] It is also a venue of community events, such as a Christmas market, school theatre festivals and a regular culture festival called Voices. [2]
In 1999, the film Die Einsamkeit der Krokodile by Jobst Oetzmann was filmed on the premises and in the area. [3] The 2018 Voices festival opened with a concert of the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, soprano Sara Hershkowitz singing songs by Richard Strauss. [4] [5]
