After the school closed, the Hagen Manor House, known to the local community as a castle for generations, was converted into a cultural center. After severe mold and mildew infestation was discovered at the beginning of the 21st century, the almost 400-year-old building underwent extensive renovations from 2007 to 2010. The castle remained closed during this time, and the site's usage concept was revised. Hagen has been open to visitors again since 2011. The castle's rooms can be rented for private events, and concerts and readings are also held there. Apartments and a doctor's office have been created on the upper floor.

Hagen was first mentioned in 1264 as indago comitis ("Count's Hag") in the Kiel city register. Within the boundaries of the later estate lay a small village called Schrevendorf (s'Grevendorf), and to the west lies the noble estate called Schrevenborn (s'Grevenborn, the Count's Well). All this indicates that the area northeast of Kiel was once a hunting ground of the territorial lords, the Schauenburg Counts of Holstein, who resided in Kiel Castle. The noble estate in Hagen (as well as in Schrevendorf) was therefore not established until the 16th century, after King Christian I of Denmark was elected the new ruler of the Duchy of Schleswig and the County of Holstein in 1460, and Kiel was ceded to the Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf line in 1544, which resided in Gottorf Castle in Schleswig and no longer needed the Kiel hunting ground.

In 1534, the first documented mention was made under Christoph von Pogwisch, whose family remained in Hagen and the nearby Dobersdorf estate for the following century. The first manor house on the estate, which has not been preserved, probably dates from this time. On the occasion of the wedding of Lucia von Pogwisch, the last heiress of the Hagen Pogwisch line, to Hinrich von Blome in 1646, the current manor house was built between 1647 and 1649. Hagen estate thus became the property of the Blome family. Both families belonged to the Equites Originarii, the oldest families of the Schleswig-Holstein knighthood. In the following centuries, the manor house served as the family seat of the Hagen-Blome line, which also included the Waterneverstorf estate, but Hagen never played a significant role in the history of Holstein and even major changes of ownership, which were quite common on other estates, did not occur. In 1814 the estate was acquired by a

The first mention of Hagen is documented in the Kiel city register in 1264 as indago comitis ("Hag des Grafens"). In the area of the later estate there was an instendorf called Schrevendorf (s'Grevendorf) and to the west there is the noble estate called Schrevenborn (s'Grevenborn, des Grafen Brunnen). All this indicates that the area northeast of Kiel was once a hunting ground of the sovereigns, the Schauenburg Counts of Holstein, who resided in Kiel Castle. The noble estate economy in Hagen (as well as in Schrevendorf) was therefore only founded in the 16th century, after King Christian I of Denmark was elected the new ruler of the Duchy of Schleswig and the County of Holstein in 1460 and Kiel was ceded to the Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf line in 1544, which resided in Gottorf Castle in Schleswig and no longer needed the Kiel hunting ground.[1]
