THE WITTKIELHOF
THE MANOR HOUSE
The Wittkielhof is a typical Angeln three-sided courtyard, a farm layout characteristic of the Angeln peninsula in northern Schleswig-Holstein that developed in the 19th century. The two farm buildings (stable and barn) face each other, while the residential house or manor, often built in a bourgeois architectural style, forms the rear of the courtyard. A frequently attached outbuilding is the so-called “Abnahme” (dower house), which served as a retirement cottage.
The Asmus Petersen Barn, the offices, the staircase, and the meeting room in the manor house, as well as the park, feature changing exhibitions of artworks from the Roosen-Trinks Collection and are open to visitors for guided art tours upon prior registration.
