Gut Stockseehof
Where past, present and future meet
Grange
The current manor house was built in 1960 in the neoclassical style of the Baur buildings in Hamburg (including Palmaille). It has been a listed building since 1999. Today, the estate presents itself as an exceptionally integrated complex of farmyard, manor house, garden, and park, ideally suited to accommodating numerous visitors for various events.
PRODUCTION & SERVICE
The farm covers 550 hectares, more than half of which is used for arable farming; 160 hectares comprise forest, a lake, and grassland, and 40 hectares are dedicated to specialty crops (sweet cherries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and Christmas trees), all of which are sold directly on the farm. You can also find our fruit at our farmers’ market, along with many other fresh, regional products.
During the season, bread and cakes are baked daily in the estate bakery.
Visitors to the farm can enjoy these in the park under the old trees in summer and in the cozy Christmas barn in winter.
