Schloss Bredebeck

The house is located in woodland in the German state of Lower Saxony between the former villages of Hörsten and Hohne, which disappeared in the 1930s in the wake of the establishment of Bergen-Hohne Training Area.

In the 1476 document it is recorded that the v. Bothmer brothers (Ernst, Gebhard and Kurt) sold the farm of tom Bredbeck to Heinrich, Otto und Lambert von Dageförde.

He switched to sheep fattening, introduced artificial fertilizer, laid out strawberry and asparagus fields and grew fruit trees.

In his capacity as the Colonel-in-Chief of the Regiment, he paid tribute to the soldiers of the Royal Lancers after they had returned in November following a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan.

The drive swings around a rectangular pond with a fountain and ends in the spacious front courtyard of a in baroque-style manor house dating to 1901/02.

All elements are on two levels, [... there is a] baroque-designed entrance hall with stuccoed walls; a framed ceiling mirror with stucco profiles [...] At the rear of the building is a garden room in the Classical style, with an exposed beam ceiling in the style of a Classical entablature and a similarly designed frieze of small corbel figures (Konsölchenfries) at the height of the beams.

Wall panelling made of almost black stained oak in the shape of fluted columns with composite capitals, [...] On the surface of the stuccoed ceiling is a portrait of St. Hubert's stag in bas-relief.

Extract from Lower Saxony's inventory of listed buildings (as at 1970):In front of the corps de logis is a charming parterre in the baroque style.
