Founded in 1575, Gut Manhagen has undergone many changes over the centuries. Most of the development is from the early 19th century. The estate received its present appearance between 1920 and 1930. Thomas Hoof acquired Gut Manhagen in 2007 and carried out a complete refurbishment, including extensive construction measures, between 2008 and 2012. The main idea behind the entire project was to cast a new light on the character of the old and special buildings and the unique ensemble in a sensitive manner and with the necessary respect. The same applies to the interior – items such as the fittings, lights, switches and outlets are in keeping with the 1920s, the decade that defines the property.
