Münchhausen grange (Münchhausen-Gutshof)

The Münchhausen estate presents itself as an ensemble of three buildings, the manor house, the distillery building and the "Schulenburg".

The three-storey and very stately manor house and today's town hall was built between 1603 and 1609. It is the birthplace of the town's famous son, Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Münchhausen, born on May 11, 1720. After his military service, he returned to the estate with his wife Jacobine and spent the rest of his life here. He died on February 22, 1797. The distillery house stands to the left of the manor house. It was built in 1720 by Münchhausen's father, Georg Otto von Münchhausen. Part of the administration and the tourist information office are located here.

Two bronze figures have found their place in the park. The Münchhausen fountain with the half horse was created by the artist Bruno Schmitz for the 675th anniversary celebrations and depicts one of the most famous Münchhausen stories. The sculpture behind the town hall shows him pulling himself out of the swamp by his own bootstraps. The third historic building to the right of the town hall is Schulenburg Castle, built around 1300. The Münchhausen Museum is located here.
