Rittergut Eisbergen im Mühlenkreis Minden-Lübbecke

Fortress/Castle
Representative sandstone building with historicizing Art Nouveau elements

The Eisbergen manor, located on the Weser, was first mentioned in 1396. In 1747, the von Schellersheim family acquired the estate, which is still owned by the family today. In addition to its agricultural and forestry use, it also serves as an equestrian facility.

On the west side is the wooded landscape park. An avenue and some outstanding solitary trees are relics of this former park. Noteworthy is a well-preserved ice cellar in the form of an artificial hill. The private garden area between the orangery and the manor house is dominated by a mighty hanging beech with a diameter of around 30 meters. The unusually large half-timbered orangery has 15 window axes on the south side.

The manor house was rebuilt in 1912 after the fire of the previous building as a representative sandstone building with historicizing Art Nouveau elements. The upper terrace in front of the manor house is dominated by two mighty trees - a copper beech and a feather beech. The two baroque sculptures of women and the vase on a pedestal date back to the 18th century. A representative staircase used to lead from here to the lower terrace, which is now used for equestrian sports.
