Bossee Manor

After the destruction of the medieval castles and the extinction of the Westensee knightly family, the Lords of Ahlefeld moved their residence to the site of the Bossee estate. In 1470, Bossee was first mentioned as the ancestral seat of the Ahlefeld family. This makes it the oldest estate in the municipality. From a 15th-century building, the cellar vault under the current manor house is still preserved. In the 16th century, a first manor house was built. Under the Rantzau family, the estate received the large farm buildings that still exist today. After several changes of ownership, the estate is now owned by the Bülow family. Detlev von Bülow had the former gatehouse replaced around 1900 by a water tower, which supplied the estate with water well into the 20th century. The manor house was redesigned in 1897.
