The Obernfelde estate is located on the northern slope of the Wiehengebirge and comprises several buildings that characterize the estate complex. In the center is the elongated manor house, while parallel to it a farm building and a converted horse stable as the southern end complete the complex.

The former watermill and the "Ministerhaus"
The former watermill is located at the edge of the park, while the "Ministerhaus" can be found to the east of the estate in a separate garden area. This building was built in 1824 in the Schinkel style as a retirement home.

The private park at Obernfelde Estate
The well-tended park at Obernfelde Estate is used exclusively for private purposes and characterizes the overall appearance of the estate with its landscaping and old planting.

History of Obernfelde Estate
