The history of the estate Sierhagen
First mention
The Gut Sierhagen in the heart of the Holstein Switzerland has a varied history behind it and begins with the first mention of the place Sierhagen in connection with a monastery founded in the 12th century.
From the fortified castle to the manor house
From the early Middle Ages to the 17th century, the estate was owned by the von Buchwaldt family, who played a major role in shaping it. In the 16th century, the Buchwaldts replaced the old castle with defense towers with a twin house with two separate wings. In 1647 they acquired the estate Hasselburg.
Cultural blossom
1666 the estate was sold together with the Hasselburg estate to the family of the Earl of Dernath. Impressed by the work of the French Sun King Louis XIV, Gerhard von Dernath also took on the building skills and added a connecting center wing to the two side wings. In this time, the culture was well maintained on the goods and on Sierhagen got the floriculture - and thus the maintenance of an orangery - an important role. Perhaps Gerhard Graf von Dernath lived on too large a foot, at any rate, the yield of his goods was no longer enough and he had to declare bankruptcy in 1730. Both goods were sold.
The rich landowner
First, the family of the Counts of Brockdorff became its new owners. At the time of the Brockdorffs, the eastern gatehouse was built, which is decorated on the court side by a flying fish - the heraldic animal of Brockdorffs - over the gate ride. Shortly thereafter, in 1765, Wulf Heinrich von Thienen acquired the estate. He was a skilled merchant and economist and became one of the wealthiest landlords of his time. In 1809, when he died at the ripe old age of 88, he bequeathed the estate to a grandson of his sister, Count Wulf von Scheel-Plessen, in the absence of his own heirs. To this day, the Scheel-Plessen family owns the beautiful estate.
New building pleasure
In 1825, Mogens Joachim Scheel-Plessen - the father of Wulf Scheel-Plessen - had the manor house rebuilt by the Hamburg architect Alexis de Chateauneuf in the classical style. The architecture of this architect can be admired in Hamburg, including the Alsterarkaden. At the time of the reconstruction of the mansion in Sierhagen de Chateauneuf was 25 years old. With a youthful zest for action, he not only rebuilt the building, but also designed the interior in the lower salons.
Only a castle
When his granddaughter Louise inherited the estate in 1876, it experienced a second cultural heyday. For many years Louise was the palace lady of the Empress Auguste Viktoria in Berlin and also attracted a large circle of artists and scientists to Sierhagen. She was offered an elevation to the princely estate in 1900, but she refused with her husband Carl Scheel-Plessen, as this would have meant the conversion of the mansion to a princely castle and the financial expenses spared.
To the modern age
After the Second World War, the goods were divided between two siblings, so that today only the estate Sierhagen and the Meierhof Good Mühlenkamp are in the possession of the Counts of Scheel-Plessen. Today, the estate of Carl-Christian Graf v. Scheel Plessen led in the 8th generation.

Scenic Path Along Neustädter Binnenwasser
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Wonderful branch line directly on Bjnnenwasser. The path is not asphalted but quite firm, only if it has rained for a long time can there be occasional muddy spots.
Usually there are no cars here, there are tracks in my pictures because the "Deutsche Bahn" had just felled trees.

Neustadt in Holstein Harbour
Highlight • Settlement
In Neustädter Hafen you can stroll wonderfully and discover all kinds of things, from magnificent traditional sailors to modern sports boats. Neustadt is an important center of sailing and here you will also find the largest private sport boat marina in the Baltic Sea. You can take a water taxi ride there from Neustädter Hafen. We also recommend a fish sandwich, freshly tapped beer and enjoying the evening sun.

Basilica of Altenkrempe
Highlight • Religious Site
The basilica is a Late Romanesque, three-aisled brick church whose interior has been redecorated in Baroque style.
In "Crempene" originally a port city was to be built, an idea that was not realized because the draft of the newer ships did not allow access to the Baltic Sea. Thus, the port city was moved to today's Neustadt and "Crempene" was "Olden Krempe."
The construction of the basilica is after 1190 or at the beginning of the 13th century under the Schauenburg Count Adolf III. However, the construction period lasted for a long time, as shown by differences in details. However, nothing is known about the builders themselves. The basilica was renovated in 1900/01 and 1974.
Sights include the 13th-century bronze bronze baptismal font, epitaphs from 1541-1747, a grave stone from 1587, the pulpit from 1687, the baptismal font from the 17th century, the high altar from 1741, a crucifix from the beginning of the 18th century. Century, and the chandelier and Blaker and the "Sauerorgel" and organ stalls from the 19th century.
The parish Altenkrempe is still patronage parish and its parish includes 25 villages spread over 90 km.
