History

In 1561 the estate was the property of the Duke, who granted the manor to his counselor Salamon Henning.[2] In 1719, the manor became property of his heirs, and later von Koskulu's, and von Mirbahu's.[2] From 1793 to 1920, the manor was in the hands of the Hahn family.[2]

The property then remained a 19th-century farm complex with residential houses, large barns with ramps, distillery, and a park established between 1830-1840 next to the manor house until the beginning of the 20th century.[3] From 1939 to 1945, it was occupied by the Forest School,[2] and from the 1945 to 1985 by the Forest Technical School.[3] Since the 1990s it has been under control of the local municipal council, now social rehabilitation center for children.
