Project description
Built in 1707-11 as a baroque four-winged complex, the south-west wing with the main representation rooms was demolished as early as 1838 - hence the name "half castle". Even today, the inner courtyard of the now three-winged building is bordered by the former inner courtyard wall of the demolished wing. The interiors of the listed building still have a rich stucco decoration from the period of construction. To the south and south-east of the castle, there are now remodeled buildings of the former farmstead, some of which are yet to find a new use. Since 2022, a non-profit association has been working to preserve and revitalize the "Half Castle". In particular, it currently lacks sanitary facilities and barrier-free access.
Based on the inventory and condition survey of the castle and manor, the entire area was first analyzed with regard to its historical development, its monumental values and its future potential. Based on this, a utilization concept had to be developed for the entire castle and estate complex. The design task was to place a contemporary new building in the surroundings of a listed building and thus to propose an addition appropriate to a historical ensemble that had developed over centuries.
