Kletkamp Estate
Highlight • Historical Site
lowland filled with waterways and lakes.
The current manor house stands on the site of a medieval moated castle,
which had belonged to the Knights of Kletkamp since 1253.
At the center of the estate is the Kletkamp manor house. It is essentially
a half-timbered Renaissance building from the Rantzau period, but was remodeled and expanded by the Brockdorf family with Baroque and Neoclassical architectural elements.
During investigations in the 1970s, ceiling structures were exposed
and the wood was dendrochronologically examined, resulting in the construction date
of the core structure being dated to 1547. According to these results, it is the oldest manor house in Schleswig-Holstein. The house is a distinctive building with two
very different facades.
The older core building, facing the park, is a two-story, hipped-roof brick structure with a central projection, remodeled in the 19th century, featuring a third-story central risalit and a high triangular gable, and presents a rather down-to-earth impression. Toward the courtyard, a strongly projecting, white-plastered central building was added in 1676 under Cai Lorenz von Brockdorff, rising to an impressive height of five stories. It stands out from the typical Holstein manor house type and likely follows Dutch models.
Atop a three-story, five-axis front facade sits a three-axis fourth floor, topped by volute gables on the sides. Above it, a turret with a lantern rises as the fifth floor. This turret was reconstructed after a fire in 1952. The interior is characterized by neoclassical alterations from the early 19th century. During repair work, a richly painted wooden beam ceiling from the early 17th century was discovered above the stucco ceiling of the dining room and relocated to the hallway on the upper floor.
Another distinctive building is the gatehouse, dating from 1775, with richly ornamented masonry and strongly curved roofs decorated with small obelisks. Along with the gatehouses of Quarnbek Estate, Testorf Estate, and Hasselburg Estate, it is one of the most beautiful in the country.

Kletkamp Station
Highlight • Historical Site
The half-timbered building was put into operation on December 8th, 1890 and was the end of the line until June 1st, 1891. The service apartment was on the upper floor and a waiting room and service room on the ground floor. The goods shed was directly connected to the reception building, and there was also a toilet in the direction of the street. The breakpoint was equipped with 4 manual switches, a head and side ramp barrier and a water crane. The length of the platform was 85 meters. In 1972 the track systems were dismantled except for the track to the head ramp, which was also dismantled in 1978. Some wooden sleepers as well as the head and side ramps are still there today.
