Valenbrook Manor
Valenbrook Estate is located in the district of Cuxhaven in the Fickmühlen district of Bad Bederkesa.
The former knight's estate originally belonged to Elm Castle. After the death of the last feudal lord Gustav von der Lieth, Georg von Hannover inherited the estate in 1774. In 1895, the Bremen tobacco and brewery merchant Lambert Leisewitz acquired the knight's estate. Ten years later, he built the listed manor house and the farm buildings on the property. Today, the estate is an event and competence center as well as a modern agricultural enterprise.
The Manor House+
The manor house is a two-story building in the Neoclassical style. In the center is a five-axis risalit, with belvederes on the right and left of the risalit.
Management of the Estate+
French Salers cattle are kept on the agricultural farm of the estate. The production of Vaalenbrooker premium milk was discontinued in the mid-1960s. Former pigsties have been converted into five-star apartments. The former granary has become an event room for 200 guests. During the week, the kitchen becomes a transparent "Delicatessen Manufactory" where fine chocolates, chutneys, dressings, and mustard creations are made. A little off the road to Neuenwalde stands an ice house. In earlier times, ice blocks were sawn from Lake Flögeln in winter. They were brought into the ice house - this way, goods could be kept fresh in the ice cellar behind meter-thick walls until summer. A large seminar room and accommodation options for guests are being created in the manor house.
